1911 Rocks

[Condition 1]

Yeah, I've looked at the Ruger Alaskan and really liked. Maybe one day when I need something more powerful for bear country.

One of the coolest things about Alaska is the selection of large guns available in gun shops.
Ruger Alaskans and other huge revolvers are sold in chain sporting goods stores. Wal-Mart has a decent selection of .454 Casull rounds. I asked the clerk at the big-box retailer if they had a 10mm Glock in stock; they had both models, and a Colt Delta Elite.

Myself, I carry 10mm walking around in Bear, in case we run into a bear.

I carry my 10mm around here, black bear country. I wouldn't dare to care a 10mm on brown bear country though.

I know this is an older post, but as an AGI cert 1911 gunsmith, I must rebutt.  That nice looking gun he was kicking around was not intended to be reliable under those conditions.  The tolerances are much tighter than a military 1911, which would probably work under those conditions.  Pick up a military grade 1911 and shake it, it rattles.  It will probably work if dropped in the dirt, but don't expect 1/2" groups @ 25'.  It will be accurate enough to stop a bad guy, quickly.
