Bearcat will function with ammo that chokes the SR22
SR22s are very neat, but not totally reliable with all Long Rifle, the more so before break-in. It also won't function with rat shot or Shorts. It is mostly plastic and zinc alloy, whereas the Bearcat is steel save for the ejector rod housing (which can be had in steel, however).
We have both, and frankly, were it not for the fact that my 6 year old princess loves the SR22 (it has a raspberry frame) it would be long gone.
It's cute, light, and handy, but I'm willing to bet the Bearcat will outlive it in triplicate.
