High Polish Blue Bearcat

[RF Nick]

I’m new to the Bearcat scene and just saw an ad for the high polished blued version . I think it’s a Lipsey variation.
Just wondering what the Bearcat community thinks of this model .
Thanks in advance.

I don’t own one , but I like the looks them . Wish I could hold one before I bought one . I’ve heard they were small, but some folks love them . Kirby

I love mine, after new ejector housings and Wolff springs. I'm not much help on the blue, I'm very big on stainless. The prettiest bluing in the world wouldn't get my money.

Googling, most places are out of stock. CDNN shows the high polished on a special sale for $450. List is $719. Their standard blued Bearcat is more, $490. List on it is $639.

In looking for this, I found that the adjustable sight version is now made in stainless, though I prefer the fixed sights, it's nice to know.

That's the first Bearcat I've ever seen with a 6" bbl & a fluted cylinder ILO the flute-less cylinder with roll engraving.

The blued 3.5" barreled Shopkeeper has a fluted cylinder as well. Another good lookin' Bearcat.

Cute, even lovely...but too small for me
The S&W 'kit gun' was too small also; that is, nice to carry and handle but tough to shoot well.
