I love .45 colt. I like revolvers a lot better than autoloaders, and I think a snubby would be great. Any thoughts on carrying the ruger alaskan, maybe even with some of those Eagle made "secret service" grips? I doubt that I would ever bother with .454 casull, but poppin those original grips back on for heavy loads at the range would probably happen. Hanyone ever carried the alaskan, or tried to? Was the size of it a problem? Would anybody trust it for ccw with the right .45 colt load and grips (and I don't care about the weight of a gun)?
