Ruger Bearcat

[jeff43]

uI traded for a new to me Ruger Bearcat yesterday. Always one of these, so I worked out a trade with a guy that had one.I always heard that the Bearcats wasn’t the most accurate revolvers , but this one seems to be.It’s a 2007 model and practically new.Trigger is a little heavy, do any of y’all have one?I like to lighten the trigger just a little.What’s the best way to do this, they are made a little different than my single six trigger springs.

I don’t think Bearcats are inherently inaccurate, they are just hard to shoot well due to the size.  Maybe get some oil up into the action, get some snap caps (or yellow drywall anchors, they’re cheap and fit perfectly) and dry fire it a while to break it in.

Ok, I’ll try that. I was going to post pictures of it and a target I shot at 10 yards off hand. For some reason it won’t let me post pictures anymore.Hadn’t had that problem until lately.

Any way to delete them?

Figured it out.

I always liked the Bearcat. I've been tempted to buy one several times. Just never got around to it.

As a kid the first handguns I remember seeing in my family were a couple of Bearcats.My cousin had one and later my step dad had one too.Fast forward nearly 50 years and I found an original Super Bearcat in great shape. It only took the first trip to the range with my daughter for her to claim it.She’s going into the Air Force in September so I’ll keep it safe for her
