Ruger Bearcat in .32 H&R Magnum

[chicharrones]

If I had money to blow on something that shoots expensive ammo, this might just be the ticket.

Anyone here have a Bearcat chambered in something other than .22 LR?

 

[Dave Markowitz]

Cool. If I hadn't just dropped a pile of money on a Colt Shooting Master, that would be very tempting.

BTW, if you handload, .32 H&R can be really cheap to shoot.

Nice looking piece.
Really not a bad price given what a Ruger Single-7 goes for these days.
My S-7 is a pleasure to shoot.
.32acp all the way to fire belching .327magnums. Mine has the 5.5”bbl.
It needed a lot of tweaking, though.

Yep. This is a .32 Mag though.

 

[GooseGestapo]

Got one of those too!
Didn’t need any tweaks. It just naturally shot like this!

I like the .32 H&R a lot, this Bisley Single Six is an accurate and easy shooting SA revolver.

Seen here with its .22 LR understudy (bottom).



Stay safe.

It would be nice without all the "bling".

I would prefer one factory made with a warranty, but I doubt Ruger has any plans to offer the Bearcat in .32 anything.

Alternatively, I would really like Ruger to make a Wrangler Bearcat. If Rossi could make a clone of the Ladysmith with pot metal 50 years ago, I'm sure Ruger can find a way to make a cast Aluminum .22 frame the same size and better today and sell it for about $200.

.32 H&R is shorthand for .32 H&R Magnum.

Nice wheelgun!

Whoops, had .32 Long on the brain.

I love that Hellcat!

For me, it missed the mark with the 6 inch barrel.

4 and 5/8 inches would much better on that little revolver.

 

[Walkalong]

I'd like it in either barrel length.

I have bought several custom revolvers from Reeder over the years. Never had a problem with any of them. Gary Reeder will build your custom to the specific design you want within the limits of the frame it is built on. He built me a revolver in 25 caliber with 3 different cylinders for 3 different cartridges. A 25/20, 256 and 250 GNR, all fit and function perfectly. His wildcats are first class. I would not hesitate to buy the Bearcat if I wanted it. Reeder can build extremely good customs.
