I'll add another vote for the S&W model 610, it's really all you need.

Me and the wife were out all day in snowshoes in 0 degree weather, we put in about 15 miles out looking for ptarmigan. She carried an sp101 357mag and I had a Glock 20 (in addition to the Ruger 77/22).

You could have if you did your paper work. Folks travel to Alaska all the time via road. You just have to prepare ahead of time.
1. Paper work'
2. Trigger Lock
3. Locked container

Travel must be direct to Alaska from the Canadian border. We don't allow Americans to run around our country armed, nor does the US allow Canadians to run around the US armed.

Take Care

Bob,

I did my homework and had my paperwork. I did transport several, "Restricted" handguns with me and had the necessary paperwork, trigger locks and cases to do so. However, the Canadians have deemed any handgun with a barrel shorter than 4.1" to be, "Prohibited" and not allowed to be transported within the country. My 629 Mountain Gun has a 4" barrel and is prohibited in Canada.

My last plane trip back to Arizona I was able to check it in with my baggage and bring it up to Alaska.

One of these two usually do the trick. The 1967 SBH with 240 JSP's, or the Colt SAA with Buffalo Bore 255gr Keith bullets @1000fps.
The Colt carries a heck of a lot easier!

Mine is my Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan in .454 Casull:


It was my trusty companion while river fishing, hiking, and camping during my 5 years in Alaska.
