Bearcats are small, expensive, and somewhat hard to find. Maybe a wrangler if funds are tight, as they are cheap and everywhere. It’s on the original grip frame and fits pretty small hands and it is much lighter than a single six. Use the money saved for a cool holster and belt. I have documented my misfortune with the Wrangler on another thread, but Ruger made it right and most folks have had good luck.

I looked at the Bearcat but went with a P22 when my kids were small, and it was only ok. Hard to shoot well and not very accurate or reliable. If I was going with an auto I would go back mark or lightweight Ruger.
