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 in this caliber. This intrigued me.
Well, I contacted WildWestGuns in Alaska and they happened to have a used one in stock with the moonclip fix, and an action job to boot. So I grabbed it.
I have never shot a revolver with moonclips. What are your impressions of this style of handgun? Are there differences in brands of clips? Which ones to buy?
I have never shot an Alaskan and was wondering what, those of you with experience with this gun, your general impressions/opinions might be. Accurate? Recoil? Pros? Cons?
Anyway, I won't be able to actually possess my gun until the purchase permit clears, which can be about 4 months so I am very interested in what you all think.
