Ruger Bearcat?

[Silverado]

Are any of these floating around 12(6), or alternately, were any made with a longer than 4" barrel? It looks like a neat little .22 revolver

HOWDY; Never heard or seen the older ones or current one with more than a 4 inch (12.6 ) barrel . Shot a friends , what a nice perfect size for the caleber gun . I would prefer a bearcat to a single six any day .

Bearcat may be the best Ruger single action revolver if not. I've been waiting for Ruger release a restricted one for us but no luck.

Thanks for the links Max, but perhaps I should clarify my question:

Were these ever produced with a barrel longer than 4"

OR

Are they common in Canada under 12(6) because I'm grandfathered for that class.

I don't think Ruger ever made any longer than 4" and never saw any of them in the EE or in the gunshow.

I have not seen one of these in the 3 or 4 years,
not common, don't know where they all went,
years ago I saw a few, but then, singles six seem to be
rare these days also and they only made a 4"

I have one, bought it for my kids. Nice little gun, good to learn on, and way overbuilt for 22s. - dan

Is yours a 12(6) from before the darkness came Dan?

 

[Abman]

I have one as well, it may be up on the block in the future, just can not bring myself to it yet.

 

[Max Owner]

I'm interested...............

You know, I never really checked, I've had it from before any of this 12 (6) nonsense began. It's the standard length barrel, which is 4" if memory serves, so it must be. I don't really seperate my guns into "bad, evil, and super evil". LOL. - dan

Perhaps you Canadian folks should write Ruger - you're a real market. I'd certainly be up for a Bearcat with a longer tube . . .

According to Rugers Forum, Ruger is very famous at NOT listen to customer's suggestion.

Yep . . . one can hope, though.

 

[Max Owner]

Other companies have made minor changes to their product for our market.

Not as easily as an autoloader, though.

They are a beautiful little revolver...

I too have one...it is 12(6) and is all original. I was thinking maybe I would sell it... Here are some pictures...Jeff.

It came with this gorgeous form fit holster that practically sucks the gun into itself with no movement at all...

 

[Jeff/1911]

Anyone else have pictures of theirs?
