We've just returned from the 2008 NRA Meetings and Exhibit in Louisville, Kentucky. Among the wonderful displays there, we saw a few new items that we did not see at the 2008 SHOT Show back in January, so we took a few pictures. Look for reviews on many of these products soon.

Also on display, besides lots of guns and related products, we some very good collections of older firearms. 2008 being the 50th Anniversary of the Ruger Bearcat, The Ruger Collectors Association displayed some old and interesting Bearcat revolvers, and there were many other fine old guns there as well.
