Cleaning brass .. cleaning some of the guns ...

I especially worked on the 1862 Police model. Shot it for two days. Then it sat for a day and half before we got home. There was a light brown in the chambers that wiped out easily. It cleaned up real nicely.

Also playing a bit with a New Model Bearcat Shop Keeper. I fired the first shots with it today .. in the shop on the indoor .22 Range. Trigger is not too bad. Worst part was the outside corner of the ejector rod. A really sharp point. I used a fine file and rounded that a bit and it really helped. A neat little gun!

I can't brag about my shooting. This was at 25 feet in the shop .. had difficulty seeing the sights. I fired about 10 groups. The front sight is too high ... which is just great on a fixed-sight gun! I will get it to the range and see which ammo it likes best and get the sights set closer.

Sounds like a fun time. (nt)

These are a hoot to play with,22 LR , 22 mag, 32 H&R...

The old model Bearcat is the first handgun I ever fired.

My mom still has it in her nightstand. I have owned a few since then and still have 2 old models. I need to find 2 more because I have a niece and 2 nephews that I would like to pass them on to. They are definitely my favorite handgun and may even be my favorite firearm of all just barely beating out the marlin 357 magnum.

Looks like you have a winner there

I was always going to get over and shoot the 1862 but never did make it,

I have a 1960 Bearcat that shoots like that.
