They believe that we will see a Bearcat Shop Keeper with adjustable sights from Lipseys!! I will be first in line. I know the four inch adjustable sighted Bear Cats are out but I was hoping for a three incher. Are not the Shop Keepers three inch?
That would be interesting.

I wonder at the proportions of the front sight...hope it doesn't get too big for the diminutive proportions of the Shopkeeper.
Oh yes, they are 3".
I have one of the 4" adjustable sight Bearcats. I have not

shot it extensively, mostly with CCI Quiet22 or Aguila Colibri in the basement. I like it. Very much a kit gun now whereas the original Bearcat might be fun but might (and I emphasize "MIGHT") disappoint due to the fixed sights. I have two of the letter serial Bearcats and like them.
I have seen a couple of the Shopkeepers, one came in with my adjustable sight Bearcat. The feel of the gun is completely different in much the same way that the 2" S&W M34 round butt differs from 4" square butt.
I had no idea that there would be a adjustable sight Shopkeeper but it isn't a reach to produce frames for such a gun now. I'll have to get one, won't I?

What's the approximate street price of the adjustable site Bearcat?

I have no idea. The info was given to my gun store along with a list of several Ruger models that Lipseys will have Ruger make up for them. I want the Shop Keeper with adjustable sights and am hoping for a stainless flat top in 357.
