Finally picked up the new Alaskan yesterday after looking at the inventory in 3 different gun stores. This fellow is a real hunk of steel. Just ordered some Hogue rosewood laminate grips for it, but will probably keep the rubber ones on when going to the range. Attached some pictures, a couple of which show it next to my GP100, 3".
You make me envious, I do love that Alaskan, and one day Im gonna add it to my collection. Congrats. Jim
If you need a good holster for it Triple K makes one specifically for the Ruger Alaskan with good heavy stitching. I'm happy with mine.
