It is based on the classic Remington percussion revolvers of the mid-19th century.[3][4] Because of its compact size and frame, it is advertised as being ideal for hikers or campers in need of a .22 LR revolver, or "kit gun".[5][4] DesignIn 1974 Ruger patented a transfer bar safety system for their single-action revolvers and discontinued the production of the Bearcat, which was not readily adaptable to the new transfer bar design.[6] In 1993, Ruger brought back the Bearcat as the New Bearcat, now incorporating the transfer bar system, and also introducing{{when|date=March 2016}} a stainless steel variant.[7] Some time in the early '80s, Bill Ruger gave an interview to a writer with the Ruger Collector's Association (RCA) and talked about the Bearcat. He said that the Bearcat was the first revolver for which the Ruger engineers developed the transfer bar and that they could easily have made it that way in 1974. They dropped it, Bill said, because of a mistake by the marketing department. When that department sent out the 1974 catalog and order forms to the distributors, they forgot to include the Bearcat. When the orders came back without orders for the Bearcat, they assumed that there was no demand and the dropped it. Today, only old members of the Ruger Collector's Association are aware of the true story of what really happened to the original Bearcat, since that story was published in the Ruger Collectors Journal and is a part of their history. VariantsBearcat 1{{sup|st}} issueThe original Bearcat featured a fixed Patridge front sight and a square notched rear. It was made with an alloy solid frame and an uncheckered plastic grips that were later replaced with walnut grip. It also features music wire coil springs and a non-fluted engraved cylinder.[1] Bearcat 2{{sup|nd}} issueThe Bearcat 2{{sup|nd}} issue was marketed as an improved version of the original Bearcat, and renamed the Super Bearcat;{{when|date=March 2016}} it featured an all-steel frame rather than an alloy frame.[1] Bearcat 3{{sup|rd}} issueThe Bearcat 3{{sup|rd}} issue, also known as the New Bearcat, is Ruger's reintroduced model which came out in 1993.[2] It features smooth rosewood grips with a Ruger medallion embedded.[1] The New Bearcat also incorporated Ruger's new transfer bar safety system.[7] It was briefly{{when|date=March 2016}} offered with an additional .22 WMR cylinder, which was recalled by Ruger due to a safety concern.[8] Those which were not returned to Ruger now command higher prices for collectors. Around 2003,{{Citation needed|date=March 2016}} Ruger began offering the Bearcat in stainless steel. In 2008, a 50th Anniversary edition was released with gold-filled script and special engravings, with 2,539 units produced.[9] In 2015, Ruger introduced a variant of the Bearcat with adjustable sights, addressing a longstanding criticism of the limitations of the fixed sights.[10] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 {{cite book|last=Peterson|first=Philip|title=Gun Digest Book of Modern Gun Values: The Shooter's Guide to Guns 1900 to Present|edition=16th|pages =241}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite web|title=The Ruger New Bearcat|url=http://www.ruger.com/products/newBearcat/models.html|publisher=Sturm Ruger|accessdate=21 December 2012}} 3. ^{{cite book|title=Florida Wildlife|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4AFLAQAAMAAJ|year=1958|publisher=Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission|quote=the recently announced Ruger "Bearcat" 6-shot .22 caliber single-action revolver, patterned after the best of the early Remington percussion revolvers |page=48}}. 4. ^1 {{cite web|title=The Ruger New Bearcat Overview|url=http://www.ruger.com/products/newBearcat/index.html|publisher=Sturm Ruger|accessdate=21 December 2012|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130621090256/http://www.ruger.com/products/newBearcat/index.html|archivedate=21 June 2013|df=dmy-all}} 5. ^{{cite book|title=Women and Guns|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nREUAQAAMAAJ|year=2006|publisher=Little River Press|page=2}} 6. ^{{cite web|last=Quinn|first=Jeff|title=Ruger's New Bearcat|url=http://www.gunblast.com/Bearcat.htm|publisher=Gun Blast|accessdate=21 December 2012}} 7. ^1 {{cite web|title=The Ruger New Bearcat Features|url=http://www.ruger.com/products/newBearcat/features.html|publisher=Sturm Ruger|accessdate=21 December 2012|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130120053738/http://www.ruger.com/products/newBearcat/features.html|archivedate=20 January 2013|df=dmy-all}} 8. ^http://www.ruger.com/pdf/newBearcatConvertible.pdf 9. ^{{cite book|author=Jerry Lee|title=Standard Catalog of Ruger Firearms|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=bVeYCAAAQBAJ&pg=PA49|date=16 December 2014|publisher="F+W Media, Inc."|isbn=978-1-4402-4060-7|pages=49–}} 10. ^http://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2015/5/26/ruger-s-new-bearcat/
