As if there weren't a lot of reasons to attend this year's Gun Blogger Rendezvous, here's even one more, a Ruger Single Action .357 Magnum revolver. I think I managed to wipe all of the drool off of the pistol before, taking the picture, but it wasn't easy! It is even nicer looking in person. This picture doesn't do it justice.

Some lucky Gun Blogger Rendezvous attendee will be the proud owner of this beautiful Ruger. It COULD be you! You must buy a raffle ticket at the Rendezvous, and be present to win. Of course, if you cannot legally own it, you can't win it, but you knew that already, I hope!


There is STILL time to register for the Gun Blogger Rendezvous and book your room at the Silver Legacy in Reno, but you have to do it RIGHT NOW. The Gun Blogger Rendezvous starts officially on September 5th, which is next Thursday. There is still room, but you have to get on it ASAP!
