Nice I'm not a revolver guy but that is a nice piece, accented by Xmas tree to, cool!

Any chance you can post something for a size comparison?

I am debating between this or a Single Six.

Bearcats are quite bit smaller then the SS. I have an original, bought it for my kids to use when they were small. Now it will be used by my grandson. Too bad it will have to go when I die thanks to this country's absurd restricted/prohib laws. - dan

Beautiful picture!

Gift for yourself, or is the wife doing some good research?

The new model bearcats are very cool. The single six fits my hands better, though.

NAA.

Thank you sir.

Unfortunately this has only confused my decision even more. LOL

I think the smaller and lighter gun would be a little more fun with the .22lr, but am worried it would feel uncomfortable.

I just don't like the size and design of the Stainless Single Six as it is such a a far cry from the original Colt SAA design. I have only seen the fixed channel sight version(which is what I would like) in blue which I am not sure I want.

I don't like Stainless steel as a cowboy gun but couldn't find a blued bearcat for the price, it seems blued single action is more welcome by fellow gunnutz. The single six is quite a good size if you intend to holster it for cowboy action.

Well I have a stainless New Vaquero already so not looking to do anything but plink with the .22, but I am loving the stainless.

My biggest issue with the blued version Single Six is the ejector housing is painted, and wears pretty easily. Almost every one I see has the same wear on it.

The ejector housing on the ss bearcat is also painted. Too bad Ruger choose to cut corner.

Really?

It's not just brushed aluminum?

 

[mlehtovaara]

Well here is the answer.

Looks like Chuck Hawks agrees with us. LOL

Easy enough to strip the pain and polish it to match the barrel/frame, which isn't an option on the blued model.

Nope... It looks like paint or anodized.
