You know it's time to clean it when the cylinder won't turn without assistance and the rounds don't want to go in the chambers.
I picked up an older bearcat a few years ago. Very light and fits small hands very well. Both of my boys learned to shoot with it.

I've been looking at the S&W MP22. It's the right size, grip, and weight. What are the negatives to this gun?

The Ruger single action revolvers are very nice guns. Good quality and reasonable price. I don't own one, but have shot the 22LR, 357Mag and 44Mag. They were all nice shooters. I wouldn't mind having one, but I already have too many guns.
