Design and handling

The Bearcat’s 4″ barrel provides a comfortable sight radius for target work while keeping overall weight and length modest for quick handling. The blued finish combines corrosion resistance with a classic aesthetic; paired with the wood grip, it offers a vintage feel and good recoil control for .22 LR loads. As a used firearm listed without a case, plan to add a protective padded case or range-ready holster when completing your purchase.

Mechanical specifics

This is a revolver platform from Ruger, noted for robust cylinder timing and straightforward maintenance. The six-round capacity is standard for many compact rimfire revolvers and keeps reloads predictable during target strings. The listing indicates one magazine quantity—interpreted here as the single cylinder—so expect the platform to be complete as shown.
