Mrs. Claus told me to go ahead and get a Christmas Ruger for myself, so this is the one that I chose. I have been wanting a 357 Bisley for a while, and I felt this one was priced fairly. My plan is to buy a second Bisley cylinder and have Gary Reeder convert it to 356 GNR. I may even have this one drilled and tapped for an optic mount. May just use a no drill mount. Haven’t thought that far ahead. I will definitely leave the 7.5” barrel.

I will add better pictures when it arrives in a few days.

Wow! You had better be a good Santa to Mrs. Claus. I would expect nothing less from your Mrs. Claus. She's a good one.

Nice. I like that.

 

[Joe S.]

I agree. She is more precious than diamonds.

Very nice Joe!

Rugers make nice Christmas presents.

Mrs Claus was very good.

Yep. I think I’ll keep her as long as she lets me.

Joe, I have one like that (wife, not the gun) and as long she puts up with me, I will be happy.

I can't decide whether this merits a Henny Youngman-esque comment or a Robert Fulghum-esque comment...sort of a "salted caramel" situation...can I go with "both?"

Just remembered i never added pics.

I picked up a second Bisley cylinder to send to Reeder to have chambered in 356 GNR. It will be a little bit as I have to get through tax season and pay off a little debt we incurred around the holidays.

I was also talking to a buddy a few weeks ago and he offered me this for my 357 and some boot. It is one of, if not the first 356 GNRs Gary Reeder made. This one has an oversized six shot cylinder and Gary’s full treatment. It also has a 10” / 10.5” barrel. It would be a sweet little huntin rig, but again, gotta get thru tax season. Ha
