\"Ruger's<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We were trundling along on a\nplacid Honda Rancher when we saw the snake; slithering its sinister way across\na dirt ranch road. Greenish in color, we recognized it as a Mohave rattlesnake,\nwidely considered the most toxic and dangerous of all rattlers due to its\nneurotoxic venom and aggressive attitude. They\u2019ve been known to attack people,\nand while this one was more bent on escaping than attacking it was too close to\nthe ranch headquarters for comfort. So my 10-year-old son Josiah slicked out\nhis little Ruger Bearcat and put a .22 bullet through its head. Well, almost.\nHad the snake possessed whiskers that lead would have trimmed \u2018em. The snake\nturned, hesitated, and Josiah\u2019s second bullet decapitated it. Not bad shooting\nfor a youngster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ruger's
Ruger\u2019s New Bearcat makes an ideal plinking and carry revolver, especially for young or small-framed shooters. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

PROVENANCE<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

America\u2019s fascination with revolvers harks back to the 1840s when Col. Patterson introduced the first cap and ball revolver; a 5-shot .36-caliber black powder affair that proved to be the first effective repeating handgun in American history. Just over 100 years later, Ruger introduced their Bearcat, a capable little .22 LR six-shooter with an awesome name. It was destined for greatness, and along with its big brother, the Single Six, carved out a name as one of America\u2019s best .22 single-action revolvers. First produced in 1958, the little handgun\u2019s appearance is slightly reminiscent of Civil War era Remington revolvers. Paying tribute to its \u201cBearcat\u201d moniker, the unfluted cylinder sports rollmark \u201cengraving\u201d featuring a bear and a cougar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ruger's
Spanning six decades of rigorous use and counting, the Bearcat has carved a name for itself as an All-American rimfire six-shooter. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Originally, 1st<\/sup> issue Bearcats were made with a solid alloy frame and plastic grips, which were later changed to walnut. 2nd<\/sup> issue revolvers featured an upgraded steel frame and were called the Super Bearcat. In 1974 the revolvers were discontinued, reportedly due to a marketing oversight. Then, in 1993 Ruger introduced the 3rd<\/sup> issue of their little six-gun, now featuring Ruger\u2019s very capable transfer bar safety system, and hardwood grips inlaid with a Ruger medallion. It\u2019s called the \u201cNew Bearcat\u201d, and production continues today. Stainless iterations were added in the early 2000s, and a fancy 50th-anniversary model was produced in 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ruger's
The New Bearcat design features Ruger\u2019s transfer bar safety system. It renders the revolver safe for full-cylinder carry, or in other words, you can safely carry with all six chambers loaded. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

AMERICAN QUALITY<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m personally a fan of \u201cAmerican made\u201d, and the fact that Ruger firearms are made in the USA renders an automatic checkmark in their favor. Additionally, Ruger guns possess a reputation for rugged durability second to none in the firearms industry. I\u2019ve owned several, and each has lived up to that reputation, performing reliably and accurately regardless of anything hard use in a challenging environment threw at it. I expect nothing less of the New Bearcat revolver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ruger's
Dust, grime, rattlesnakes? No worries. The Bearcat will handle \u2018em all. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

FIT, FINISH, AND FUNCTION<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Fit and finish on the Ruger New Bearcat were not perfect, but not terrible either. The wood-to-metal fit was less than ideal, with the stocks being slightly proud and not super well-fitted around most of the metal, especially in the region of the medallions. However, we\u2019re not testing a Holland & Holland double rifle here, and in my assessment, the fit was adequate enough. All metal parts feature a nice, almost black, bluing except for the hammer and trigger, which are polished, creating a nice, eye-catching contrast. The hammer sports a wide(ish) thumb platform atop the spur, which renders the sixgun easy to cock. The grip shape is reminiscent of a Bisley profile, offering an almost straight grip and making the revolver feel quite natural to aim and shoot. Function throughout my testing was as expected of a Ruger revolver – flawless. The action is tight and relatively smooth, the loading gate snaps open and shut crisply, and the ejector works smoothly and with authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ruger's
Bisley-like grip profile, polished hammer and trigger, and nice bluing renders this little six-shooter an attractive weapon. Function, of course, was flawless. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The New Bearcat is available in\nseveral iterations; including barrel lengths of 3-inch, 4.2-inch (as tested),\nand 6-inch. Fixed sights are standard, including frame-top square-notch rear\nand blade front sight. Certain models are only available as Lipsey\u2019s\nDistributors exclusives, including some models that feature adjustable rear\nsights or birds-head grips. Some models are available in stainless steel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ruger's
Tested: the author\u2019s 4.20-inch New Bearcat. And yes, he likes it almost as much as he likes his hat. Maybe more. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

TESTING<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The first stage of testing the\nlittle Bearcat involved plinking with my kids \u2013 after-all; it\u2019s the perfect\nsize and shape for youngsters to learn with. It proved easy for them to handle,\nsimple to operate, and went bang every time they aimed at a target and squeezed\nthe trigger. The older kids even printed some inspiringly tight five-shot\ngroups. They universally loved the little six-shooter, so much in fact that I\nordered two more Bearcats shortly thereafter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ruger's
The Bearcat was accurate and comfortable to shoot. Here you can see the detail of the wide hammer spur – a nice feature. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My second stage of testing consisted of building a little Slim Jim cross-draw holster for the New Bearcat and carrying it with me, occasional plinking, and just getting to know the revolver. I especially like the balance of the 4.2-inch test model; it feels good in the hand, points naturally, and carries well. Josiah carried it more than I did, having it belted on when we encountered the rattlesnake mentioned above. While it doesn\u2019t fill my hand quite as well as my Ruger Single Six does, it still felt good and handled nicely once I grew used to it. And it feels perfect to my wife and children\u2019s hands; to them, my Single Six feels too large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ruger's
Trigger break is clean, but with just a hint of smooth creep preventing it from being crisp. Average pull weight: 4 lbs. 3 oz. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The third and final stage comprised accuracy testing three of my favorite .22 Long Rifle loads. Accuracy was good, with group size averaging less than one and a quarter inches at ten yards across all three loads. Not surprisingly, my groups impacted an average of two inches low. It would be a simple matter to file the front sight down a touch; a few minutes with a careful file, a polishing stone, and a bit of cold blue would bring the point of impact up perfectly and leave your Bearcat zeroed and looking good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ruger's
Several of my five-shot groups, fired at ten yards, were small enough fit inside the little revolver\u2019s trigger guard. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

CONCLUSION<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ruger\u2019s New Bearcat is an awesome, reliable little single-action six-shooter that\u2019s perfect for kid and adult alike. The function will be stellar and accuracy is good. Best of all, every Bearcat is made in the USA. MSRP $639.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ruger's
Aside from BB or pellet guns, nothing is as cheap to shoot as a .22LR. Get a Bearcat and 5,000 round of ammo \u2013 after shooting all of it you will be a good shot with a handgun. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Note: Testing was performed from a rested position at 10 yards, with a Shooting Chrony chronograph set 10 feet in front of the muzzle. Three, 5-shot groups were fired with each ammunition, the results added together and averaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He prefers the company of his horses, dogs, and rifles to that of his fellow humans, with the notable exception of his lovely wife and children, whom he thoroughly enjoys. He writes for various hunting and shooting publications on the subjects of backcountry hunting, fine shooting implements, and survival. This is for the purpose of putting food on the table and shoes on those lovely children's feet, and because it is a way to pay forward the knowledge he has gleaned from years of living and hunting in wild places.","url":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/author\/aram-von-benedikt\/"}]}},"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/rugerbearbene-5-150x113.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113938","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/73"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=113938"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113938\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":185589,"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113938\/revisions\/185589"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/113945"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=113938"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=113938"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=113938"},{"taxonomy":"featured","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/featured?post=113938"},{"taxonomy":"hunt365","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hunt365?post=113938"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
