Lets talk about the Ruger New Model Bearcat and Smith M63 shall we. I haven't handle a Bearcat since I was a teenager in the early 80s (never did shoot it) but have owned several Ruger New Model Super Single Sixes and did own a M651 4". Now, I am not looking at purchasing this for myself. Its to be a gift to my 2yr old grandson when he's capable, gotta make him into a little handgunner like I did his father. Which you choose for your grandson's investment in shooting rights? (keep this to pistols as his dad's getting him the youth .22LR rifle)

Andy,

You mean my wife is getting the paychecks!

Thanks for your imput. The 651 I had did have a red ramp front sight. Smith is making the M63 with a 3" or 5" tube this year. I can't wait to start taking him out to great outdoors. He is growing up in Colorado Spings.

Thanks for the suggestion folks. Started by leaning toward the Bearcat and then reconsidered the Smith. Clem, like your suggestion on the J frame sights on the Bearcat. In regard to Cylinder and Slide Shop, I meet Bill Laughridge down at Ft Benning and won a 1911 trigger group from him. Good folks and treffric work.
