"HA" Story thread... gone to gun thread

The Alaskan is shorter, lighter, and carries better for all around carry. I would not get it for hiking in bear country...Also, being able to shoot .45 colt for practice and expense is nice.

Why not go for the X-Frame S&W 500 Magnum? You can get it in 4", 6 1/2", or 8 3/8". Double/single action in SS. If I hiked in bear country I wouldn't leave home without it.
