Fourteen months after Fermin posted about Dave Clements would be building 327 Federal Bearcat Revolvers, I got an email...
Yep, Dave emailed this evening that my Bearcat 327 Federal will ship out Monday.
Hope we can all post pictures on this or a separate thread.
Mine will be 4.2" barreled Stainless Adjustable Sight gun. Will have a couple other features that will be disclosed with the pictures.
I can not for the life of me think up a better trail gun. Stag grips and custom holster lay in wait.
It will be a long weekend...

Mine is on the way too the base gun arrived at David's 02/02/17.
Not a bad wait....if you're in a hurry, unique custom revolvers are not the right hobby.
He had tons of problems due to variability in the guns. Many of these guys set up fixtures and do similar jobs in batches so they can streamline their workflow and make a few bucks. The bearcats proved frustrating and impossible to pin down any SOP.
I'm excited!

You guys are the best, and also worst enablers around. Looking forward to some pictures and a range report!

I sent mine in 6/15/2018. Since Dave does guns in batches, only priority is getting base gun there before the project was started.
Dave is an honest, straight talking fellow. I really like doing business with him.
Look forward to just holding this gun in my hands. Became an instant classic when he discontinued them from his line-up.

I had been wanting a 32 cal Bearcat for some time, so I jumped at the chance when I heard David Clements was going to be offering this conversion. Last January I sent him this Bearcat Shopkeeper... And I just got it back after he converted it to 32 H&R Magnum. I'm really happy with it! It now wears an octagon barrel, dovetailed front sight, and his S&W pre-war adjustable sight. Action feels great. It's awesome, and beat my expectations so far. Range report to follow. The holster is by Doc Barranti, his Myres Barton's Special. Doc finished it this summer, and it's equally impressive! Next up are some grips by Zane...currently in the works!

My two shipped Friday. One shopkeeper, one standard. Both stainless fixed sights
Glad I went with two as I like the looks of that shopkeeper.
Initial test loads are on the bench, waiting for the guns to arrive

So if 6 were made total, between what’s been posted above, are 5 of the 6 accounted for here?
