Bearcat or Single Six?
Opinions, please.
Thanks in advance.

For you personally or someone else?
I have had a Single Six for over 30 years. Excellent handgun. My son just bought the Bearcat Shopkeeper model. The Bearcat is a sweet little fun shooter, very compact but fixed sights. If it is for backyard plinking etc. I would say Bearcat. If you want something that is a more serious shooter I would go Single Six with adjustable sights. For a "fun" carry gun I'd almost carry that birds head grip Shopkeeper but definitely not for "serious" social work.
Wait, just a bit, for a cool Single Six...

My Single Six and Security Six are the two handguns I would
Never get rid of. First two handguns I ever bought.
Bearcat or Single Six?
Think of the Single-Six as the K22 of the single-action offerings and the Bearcat as the S&W M34 Kit-gun, albeit with fixed sights. The Bearcat is fun but more challenging to shoot well. The Single-SIx is every bit a game-getter type handgun and at reasonable ranges.
As to quality, both are Rugers, so no problem there.

The Bearcat is cute, the Single Six practical

My first new sixgun was the SS. Those are real sixguns &
between the two gets my vote.
Bearcat or Single Six?
Single Six. I have mine set up with the magmum cylinder since I picked up a Buckmark for long rifle shooting. Two cylinders seals the deal.
