Detailed Features:
The satin stainless finish resists corrosion and keeps maintenance straightforward. Transfer bar safety lets you carry all six chambers loaded; the firing pin only contacts the primer when the trigger is pulled with the hammer cocked. The adjustable rear sight pairs with the ramp front to let you dial in point of impact at different distances, which is useful for .22 LR plinking where small adjustments actually matter.
The hardwood grips provide a secure hold during extended sessions, and the overall size is compact enough for easy carry while still giving a full-grip feel for most hands.
Usage
The Bearcat suits beginners working through the basics just as well as collectors who want a traditional American single-action in stainless. For small game hunting, the 4.2-inch barrel gives a little more sight radius than the shorter Shopkeeper variant while staying light enough for all-day field carry.
