I have spoken to people who own the new Bearcat's and get sorta mixed feelings.All of them liked the revolver and said they were accurate .One fellow in particular said he thought his had "a built in laser" because it was SO accurate!!.They are great little guns but like most Rugers need a little work on the trigger.The new guns have the transfer bar safety so differ from the Old Models.You may find the little thing somewhat hard to shoot if you have big hands but they are fun,easy to carry and kids love 'em!
