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?

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".

But had some issues with shell ejection with the short ejector rod.

The last 1cm of the chambers of the cylinder. Didn't know they were making one with adjustable sights though mine is the model with a grooved backstrap. But LOVE to shoot it very accurate for only 3" of barrel.

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.

blued and stainless, respectively.
