so, I used WD-40 to lube a Colt Defender (this was before I knew that WD-40 is bad for weapons), will brake cleaner harm stainless steel finish? how about blue or nickle weapons?

firing a Thompson MG was the most fun I have had with my clothes on! I enjoyed it more than the MP5, M16, AK47 that were available

.380 AMT

the 357 will be the lightest for recoil, you can also fire .38 special in it the 44 will be in the middle as far as recoil, you can fire 44 special in it which will be milder and comfortable to shoot the 460 will have the most recoil, but you can also fire .454 casul and mild 45 colt rounds in it.

have you considered the .204 Ruger round? do a google search and read what they say about it. low recoil, less powder used than many rounds (only important if you reload) flat shooting, won't wear barrels out like some other varmint rounds

get one! you won't be sorry! I got one after looking for 9 months and am very pleased with it. .45 Colt loads are very mild. so far other than the .45 colt loads I have used 240 gr. Magtech 454 loads which are very manageable. I have a box of 260 gr. magtechs for my next range session. go...

Ruger Alaskan in .454 Casull

http://www.springfield-armory.com/xd.php?version=62anyone have one or have any range time with one? reliability is my #1 concern. how does the .40 compare to the .45ACP? I see .40 ammo is less expensive than .45ACP. what are the street prices on these? looks like it would be a sweet carry...

Greg, I looked for 9 months before I finally lucked out and found one in a local dealer's case. lots of the Alaskans available on the gun auction sites though.

Mainsail, what kind of looks and or comments do you get from other hikers when they see you are carrying a pistol?

I got mine in .454 Casull mainly because that was all I could find and the .44 magnum Alaskan was not yet approved for California sale. recoil with 240 grain 454 magtech is not bad. mild 45 colt rounds are very pleasant to shoot. the only downside is the cost of ammo. click here for a...

crappy cell phone picture of a 240gr 44 mag next to a 260gr 454 Casull:

cheapest 45 long colts I have been able to find was a box of 50 reloads at the local sporting goods store for 19.99, no way you will find any for as cheap as 45 ACP. I would suggest looking into reloading.

I just got a Ruger Alaskan in .454 Casull. recoil with 240gr. Magtechs was not unpleasant. 45 Colts were very mild. the downside is that Alaskans might not be easy to find as I had been looking since March of 06 and the cost of ammo, may have to take up reloading. I don't have any 45 colt...

If a picture is worth a thousand words................

I shot one at a MG shoot in Nevada, lots of fun! rounds used were orange practice ones.

Alaskan! I had been looking for one for almost a year and when I happened to be in a local sporting goods store they had one in the showcase, I snapped it up quicker than you can say "Great Balls O Fire"! here is a video of the Alaskan with 240 gr. Magtech: http://youtube.com/watch?v=z18b4nTCV3w

AMT .380 is about the only junk pistol I have had

sharps shooter you asked about the Alaskan, I just got a Ruger Alaskan in .454 Casull. fired it for the first time at the range, shot a box of 240 gr. magtechs and a box of 45 Colts. the magtechs had a bit of recoil, not at all unpleasant to shoot, the 45 colt loads were very mild and very...

well, I only have one Ruger wheelgun, an Alaskan in .454 Casull. it is a pussycat to shoot with mild .45 long colt and 240 gr. Magtech .454 was easily controllable. have not tried any "hot" 454 loads yet.
