I've been lusting after one of these for months now and have found a NIB one for a reasonable price (around $700). I have absolutely no reason to own this revolver other than the fact that I really want one. I've fallen for .45 Colt revolvers in a big way and now have five of them, three of which are Rugers. So my question is for those that have them, are there any issues with shooting .45 Colt loads in the Alaskan? I have .44 and .357 Magnum revolvers and have shot specials in them so I realize that a lead ring can build up near the front of each chamber, but those rings clean up fairly easily. Are there any other issues to be aware of with the Alaskan? I've never shot a .454 Casull but I'm sure it won't be a problem for me.
Once I buy an Alaskan, a GP100 and a 4" stainless Blackhawk in .45 Colt I'll have all the Ruger revolvers that I want. Here's what I have at present.
Thanks.
