1965 Bearcat Unconverted

[jstanfield103]

I guy on Facebook posted a 1965 Bearcat yesterday and 20 minuets later we had made a deal to meat today.

I bought the Revolver and for a 51 year old Revolver it is in great shape. It has one little scratch on it and that is it.

Anyway I am not sure if these are factory original grips but I believe so. Very happy with the deal, also very proud of the revolver. I had always wanted a Bearcat and just never bought one. Had other guns to buy. I could not pass this one up. I did not pay cash in fact I traded down to get it. But Money was tight after Christmas and I can always find a new M&P9 but not a 1965 unconverted Bearcat in this kind of shape.

Nice Bearcat.

You made a good acquisition. The grips are the original type for that vintage.

As long as you are happy,, who cares if you traded up or down. Me? I'd take an OM Bearcat over a new M&P 9 any day. Like you said,,, you can find the M&P's easily.
Nice Cat!

If you should feel that you made a bad decision let me know and I can probably find someone to take it off your hands. :roll:

I really never have held the Bearcat before. This is my first and I am a smaller kinda of guy 5'5". I have to shorten the length of pull on all my rifles and my auto pistols have to have a short length of pull available or I do not purchase them.

When I picked up this Bearcat I was amazed really at how small this revolver is. It fits me perfect. I really think I am going to enjoy it. It goes great with my 1972 Single Six Unconverted and my Original Vaquero. Here is the Trio together.

Thanks for all the great comments guy's/Gal's

NOTHING like a 'Cat! Miniaturization at its best. Nice buy!
