Baton Rouge, LA -(AmmoLand.com)- Lipsey’s, a nationally renowned firearms distributor, has added to its popular line of exclusive Ruger Bearcats.
The new blued version of the popular Shopkeeper 22 LR Bearcat will quickly be at the top of the revolver enthusiasts wishlist.
The Ruger stainless Bearcat Shopkeeper is one of the most popular Lipsey’s Exclusives to date. The new blued version is sure to deliver all the fanfare with its new look and familiar fun factor. This new Lipsey’s Exclusive features a blue finish, 3-1/2” barrel, birdshead gripframe, and for the first time on a Bearcat, a fluted cylinder.
Lipsey’s product development team, led by Jason Cloessner, wanted to continue to build on the Bearcat platform which continues to be a hot item with both shooters and collectors.
“Ever since we came out with the stainless Shopkeeper I have wanted to do a blued version. To make this one a little different we added the fluted cylinder and lengthened the barrel by a half inch to insure complete extraction of spent casings. With these new features, I am excited to be offering this new revolver.”
The new blued Bearcat Shopkeeper will be available immediately and distributed exclusively through Lipsey’s.

Mean while I own a very expensive stainless model with these exact issues. Where is the recall for us stainless owners?
When I read about the Ruger stainless 22 Bearcat Shopkeeper, I knew I wanted one. I special ordered my shopkeeper through a local Sportsmans Warehouse.

I contacted Ruger and they have… Read more »
