    Lipsey's New Ruger Bearcat

    .

    I'm likin' the 6" bbl & fluted cylinder ILO the roll engraved version.





    .
    Now I lay me down to sleep
    A gun beside me is what I keep
    If I awake, and you're inside
    The coroner's van is your next ride

    Man, those flutes really do handsomize that little bugger.

    Never understood why Ruger hasn't offered this gun in centerfire chambering. Would be perfect in the various 32 cal cartridges. Maybe would have to enlarge the frame and cylinder slightly to accommodate the larger rounds, but it should be relatively easy to do. BTW what is the barrel length of the gun shown in the OP? I read 6inch, but it appears to be shorter. Maybe 4 5/8?

    Real pretty gun but, it is might spendy to buy one.
    Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway!

    Bill Ruger's take on the Remington 1875 in size small. I've always wanted one and that one would do.

    Everything about this revolver is in proportion, except the hammer spur. It has elegance, form following function flawlessly, until you look at the hammer. It looks thick and clubby. Even GF noticed it right away and she is not a gun person at all. They could have sculpted that hammer spur into a statement all it's own but.... Oh well!
    Got a .22 .30 .32 .357 .38 .40 .41 .44 .45 .480 or .500 S&W cylinder that needs throats honed? 9mm, 10mm/40S&W, 45 ACP pistol barrel that won't "plunk" your handloads? 480 Ruger or 475 Linebaugh cylinder that needs the "step" reamed to 6° 30min chamfer?
