Well, I do miss my .44 mag Super Blackhawk. It was not a "practical" sidearm, 5 1/2", but I loved it and wished I never sold it. Even then I'd thought of the .454 Casull Ruger Alaskan but imagine that will wake you up in the morning with it's 2 1/2" barrel. How do you guys like it? I know it's good Alaska defense, but I can't keep a straight face trying to use that one to explain to my wife.
