This revolver is a beauty, but way out of my price range. However, I have considered the normal Ruger Bearcat or a Single Six. Both are considered high-quality revolvers. Does anyone have experience with either of those?

Regular Bearcat for comparison:

the new model bearcat in .22 magnum was discontinued shortly after introduction due to numerous problems -

Oh yeah? This is the first time I even knew one existed. The regular .22 LR Bearcats I've read are quality though, like a Single Six but smaller.

I've owned a couple Bearcats including the adjustable sight model. They're neat little guns, but really a bit too small even for my average sized hands. The Single Six is more comfortable for me and easier for me to shoot accurately.

They are smaller, yes. I like the way the one in the picture looks, the normal one. But, the frame and grip size is something to consider. I have large hands.
