New Bearcat Shopkeeper now blued

Lipseys just announced it.
Looks fantastic. Note the fluted cylinder.

If one of the dealers here gets them, let me know. I'll take one!

OH DEAR! One more to add to the collection. I'll get my local FFL on it ASAP.

Wow, that is one nice looking little gun.

I have no use for a gun like that...

except that now I took one look at that picture and I NEED one. Wow, that's a beauty.

And longer extraction/ejection than the older Shopkeeper.

I seem to remember "someone" hinting at that recently.

Sunovagun!

You may want to wait, ROCS is supposed to be coming out with this Bearcat in a limited edition I for one can't wait to see what they come up with.

Denis,

Good eye. Yes, 3 1/2" barrel instead of the 3" on the standard shopkeeper.

That's what I was referring to a few weeks ago as a solution for short extraction for a poster.
The longer barrel's intended to fix that problem.
Denis

That's good to know. Any more details on that?

Wow! that is gorgeous! Nothing I'm gonna rush out for but man oh man, if that was centerfire, even a .32 mag (preferable a .38 or larger) I'd be ALL ver that.

Oh man, now I'm glad I held off on the first shopkeeper run. I'd like this version a whole lot more!

I heard that rumor last year and nothing happened. I already had my FFL dealer programmed to get one ordered for me as SOON as the notice went out. Still waiting.

It sounds like it may not be to long of a wait. I bet we will hear more in the mid summer news letter.

Bigbore45colt just listed several in the classified section for sale. Now there is another one on the list that I need.

The new Lipsey's Bearcat is shipping.

I was speaking of the limited ROCS bearcat.

Just saw 95-10342 in that today.
Lasered serial number and frame marking.
