I say buy it. Just seeing your grandson's reaction will be money well spent.
^^^^^WHAT HE SAID^^^^^
He ain’t retired and rolling in cash like you are, Richie rich!
My aunt found one of these at a garage sale once. There was a Black and Decker electronic screwdriver box, she picked it up to inspect contents and inside was the Bearcat. She let the owner know and the lady said "I know, it was in the attic and needs to go".
Box was marked $5...
*edit* ok it wasnt the birdshead variety but still

Hey now, though admirable as it may be it's not my fault he chose to be a cop......and an honest cop at that.
I thank you for that.
Yeah, I almost bought it just for that very reason, but me grandson is kinda weird about guns. He absolutely loves his Remy .243 and he'll shoot my Ruger 10/22 all day long. But pistols and revolvers kinda scare him. I guess maybe it's because the muzzle of a long gun is way out there, while a pistol/revolver is right there just past your hands.
I dunno. I know we've been through my entire arsenal, everything from a J frame to a Glock 22, and he hates them all. So, that's why I kinda hesitated on the Bearcat. But the more I think about it, the more I would like a SA .22LR in my collection. I just think I can find one for a better price than the Bearcat. Plus, it was a tad too small for me.
Seems like every time I walk into Atwood's or Academy here one or both of them always seem to have a Ruger Wrangler on hand in one finish or another for right at $200.00 + tax.......that might be a way to go.

Yeah, I'll probably pick one up. I just really love that birdshead grip.
Have you ever fired a revolver with a birds head grip? I’ve had several, and they tended to ride up and down in my hand as I shot them. A .22 revolver probably won’t present such an issue, but keep it in mind.
