I am trying to rescue a lonely, neglected Firearm from being misappropriated by corrupt criminal agencies. With your donations we can make a positive impact in the oppression of tools of freedom.

Theyā€™re good for getting your feet wet in 1911s However if youā€™re going up to Alaska get a 10mm instead of a 45 acp. Hunters in Alaska switched to the 10mm for good reason it hits way harder than a 45 due to the massive difference in velocity and the weights being comparable.

Hey all, I thank you for the input and to let you know things took a turn last night in a good way!

I got a really good deal on a Kimber last night! It is chambered in .45 and when I get it in Iā€™ll post pictures.

I have carried my Rock Island .45 all the time. I hope i i never have to use it. But I do know at close range you can not have a better weapon. I was in the ARMY for 23 years. The 1st 10 years I had 2 weapons my M16 and my 1911 .45. That 1911 .45 will put a hurt on something at close range. I will hit at 50 yards, but I practice at 20 yards and closer.

Thatā€™s great. Just keep in mind the other suggestion to get a 10mm if Alaska is your destination.

While there may be better caliber options for that specific application, use what you can. If youā€™re unsure about the 10mm recoil, see if you can rent one at your local range to try it out. Then if that doesnā€™t work, stick with what you can handle.

I have two Rocks in my carry rotation. Both are double stacks, one is the .45 and the other is the 22tcm/9mm. I have shot both well over 1,000 rounds and neither have given me a moments trouble.

Hereā€™s a suggestion. Contact a reliable source(s) in Alaska and ask them what they recommend carrying. Chances are it wonā€™t be a Rock Island 1911.
