Was I that happy when I got it? Almost. I was a bit under the weather at the time, so I wasn't fully in the moment. Ironically, I wanted an Alaskan in .44 long before I wanted a Gp100. But the gp has such an immense reputation, plus it was more affordable and in a caliber I already used and trusted. So it became the object of my desire.
I prefer short barrel revolvers, so an Alaskan wouldn't bother me.
