Ruger Bearcat in .32 H&R?
« on: May 27, 2004, 02:19:32 AM »
Is Ruger making, or did the ever make,  a Bearcat in .32 H&R? I think it would be a great idea, but I don't think they ever did - am I wrong? Thanks

Don't think a 32 would fit in a bear cat. The cylinder to to small of a dia.

Ruger did/do make a 32 in the single six.

Ruger Bearcat in .32 H&R?

I believe it can and has been done by one of the custom gunsmiths (Bowen, Clements?).  Ask Lloyd Small, (single action forum) he has mentioned this before.  I believe they will do .32 on a bearcat and 38 on a single six.  BUT, It would be VERY expensive.  And since Ruger makes the great Single Six Vaquero in .32 with a short barrel, I could not justify the price.  If you want it more compact, and lighter than that, pick up a S&W lightwt "J" frame.  44 Man

The owner of a local gunshop has one as done by Linebaugh years ago.  If I recall correctly, it is a 5-shot.

According to the owner, Linebaugh swore he would never, ever do another.
