Ah, now we are on one of my favorite subjects! I have an old model that I picked up a few years ago. The finish on the aluminum frame is good, but the blueing on the cylinder and barrel is very worn. I absolutely love that gun. When I first shot it, it printed high and left with federal ammo, which seemed to shoot very well in most of my .22 pistols. I thought I might have to turn the barrel to center the groups and laid it on the shelf for a while. Next time I got it out, I tried Remington HPs and it printed right on the sights! Now I carry it everytime I want a .22 and most of the other pistols only come out when the kids are over to shoot. It is light and handy and sits easy on your belt, or you can just drop it in a pocket. The first time I saw a Bearcat back in the 60's, I wanted one. Some how purchasing one eluded me for several years. Now, my only regret is that I did not buy a dozen of these when they were only $37.50! 44 Man
