Ruger Bearcat Shopkeeper .22 LR 3" Stainless

Ruger Bearcat Shopkeeper .22 LR Revolver

The Bearcat Shopkeeper represents a modern interpretation of a classic design—a small-frame revolver built for those who value simplicity, reliability, and genuine utility.

Key Features

• Caliber: .22 Long Rifle
• Barrel Length: 3 inches
• Construction: Stainless steel for corrosion resistance and durability
• Grip Frame: Birdshead design for natural pointing and reduced felt recoil
• Action: Single-action revolver with crisp trigger
• Capacity: 6 rounds

Design Philosophy

The birdshead grip frame is not merely aesthetic—it's a functional choice that positions your hand naturally on the revolver and distributes recoil forces more comfortably than traditional designs. The 3-inch barrel strikes an ideal balance between velocity and portability, making this revolver equally at home in a backpack or on a belt.

Practical Applications

This is a revolver for those who understand that .22 LR, in the hands of a competent shooter, is a legitimate defensive tool. It's also an excellent choice for small game hunting, plinking, and training new shooters. The simplicity of single-action operation means there's nothing to learn except trigger control and sight picture.

Why Stainless Steel

Stainless construction means you can carry this revolver in varied conditions without concern for rust or corrosion. It's a practical choice for field use.

The Bearcat Shopkeeper is purpose-built for those who prefer substance over fashion.
