I'm considering carrying my Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan .454cassull for CCW, and potentially adding a new Ruger SRH Alaskan .44mag to the line up, just because I'm such a fan of the .44mag AND of Ruger revolvers (So happy Ruger added the .44mag Alaskan!!)

What's your thoughts on heavy calibered CCW weapons?

I'm usually a minimalist when it comes to concealed carry, with a Kel-Tec P-3AT getting top billing for me most of the time, and occasionally a Springfield Microcompact 1911 .45acp or a Taurus 85 .38spcl.

I bought the Ruger Alaskan as a deer hunting revolver, and the .44mag Alaskan will be a strictly guilty pleasure revolver, since I love the .44mag so much, but it'd be nice to have a day to day job for this fire-breathing beast.

For the specs, the Alaskan is 7 1/2" long, and nearly 3lbs, with a 2.5" barrel. It's a beast of a revolver, and certainly isn't a "t-shirt and shorts" friendly CCW piece, but I have the .454 Cassull Alaskan and I'm going to get the .44mag Alaskan anyway, so I figure I'd try it out.

Anyone else carrying hoglegs on the DL?
