Good morning all,
I have been wanting to pick up a Bearcat for use in training my grandsons, but price and availability are making me think about a Super Wrangler. I know it's a brand-new model, but what do you think my chances are of finding a smaller grip frame for one?

The Bearcat grip frame won't swap onto a Wrangler.

The biggest thing is to find out which grip frame will fit your grandson's hands the best. A Bisley is often too long for smaller hands. It's also a better design for heavier recoiling calibers.
The Birdshead may be a better option.
Heck, even a thinned down set of standard grip panels can help smaller hands. (Wooden ones of course.)

I picked up a gold Cerakote Super Wrangler at lunch today from a LGS for the princely sum of $299 out the door. I'll be taking it to the range this weekend to test it out. If it shoots well I'll start looking for a birdshead or youth grip frame suitable for my grandson!
