The Ruger Bearcat is a single-action .22 caliber revolver manufactured by Sturm Ruger & Co. introduced in 1958. It is based on the classic Remington revolvers of the mid-1800s. Because of its compact size and frame it is advertised as being ideal for hikers or campers in need of a .22 LR revolver.In 1974 Ruger patented a transfer bar safety system for their single-action revolvers and discontinued the production of the Bearcat. It was not readily adaptable to the new transfer bar design.
