If + gerund

Hello

I'm wondering if "if + gerund" can be used in the following way:

You should give it a try if ever visiting our city.​

Thank you.
You should give it a try

Yes, but I suspect that most native speakers would say "if you are ever visiting our city".

Note that in traditional grammar "visiting" is a present participle, not a gerund. In modern grammar it is simply an ing verb.
