The CQB is made to be a carry gun and should perform flawlessly right out of the box. Of the newer Wilson 1911s that I have seen recently, the workmanship and fit and finish was impeccable. Remember, they are made one at a time and pieces are all hand fitted. If these things are important to you...

Beautiful gun!! I think S&W hit a home run with this updated 1911. Lots of luck!

Hey jame, Thank you. You reminded me of the reason I post very little on forums and why I should better learn to take my own advice.

Man, from reading all these posts I realize that there are a lot of us out there who have to deal with back pain every day. Anyway, here is what I have found to work. Don't believe the stuff we were told about needing a thick heavy leather belt to carry our handgun. All Hogwash...

I got a Simply Rugged Sourdough for my Alaskan .454 and it is very nice. Nothing fancy but very well built. I guess the name described it best.

It all depends what the flavor the month is. Yes, I am a Lubaholic and whenever I find something new, I have to get it. So, EEzox, Sentry, Weapon Shield, Militec, Slipstream, Gunzilla, TW25, etc

Big Bill, How about it's handling characteristics; balance, weight, recoil with the different calibers, ergonomics. Also, overall quality? enjoy shooting it?

dairycreek, now that's a holster!! That is so cool (with the bullet loops) I wouldn't want to conceal it.

The ole "box-a-holsters", done that when I was younger, but less money, older, wiser,(well maybe not wiser) I am more careful on my purchases. But man, you guys are pressuring me to buy that Simply Rugged! batmann, thanks for that, I will check out the Letts grips.

MrFox, from your description I will definitely consider Simply Rugged,as fancy is not necessary. RugerDoug, I have two dogs that accompany me everywhere on my property so the Ruger in a comfortable holster would be welcome. Due to some serious back problems I can no longer do any serious...

Thanks Old Bob, I am looking forward to getting it in my hands. Will check out Rugers holsters, too. MrFox, I did check out Simply Rugged. Their holsters appear well made but look a little bit unfinished, but this could be due to the photographs. What do you think about 'em? I did find these...

Wow, good info everybody! More and better then I expected. Though I did not purchase the Alaskan for bears, we just so happen to have an over abundance of them here. Several a week travel across my property and those are the ones that are noticed. These Black Bears are relatively and usually...

Thanks for the info everyone. Old Fuff, good history lesson and that "bears in the zoos" thing is funny. I didn't factor in the loss of accuracy issue. I guess that is a downside of an impulse buy. C and L clips and Wilson demooner are noted, thanks. I will call WWG for advice on the...

Hello from NJ, I have a coupla questions for Ruger fans. Last week I aquired a used Ruger Alaskan on kinda an impulse buy. For various reasons I was interested in a .45ACP revolver and I had heard from a member on another board that the Alaskan could be "fixed" to accommidate moonclips...

I am considering buying either a S & W M22 or M325, to join a couple of 1911s I already own. My reason for this purchase is that I want to standardize the ammo to .45 cal to simplify things. I am not familiar at all with .45 revolvers and would like to know what the loading protocol is...
