Someone in here said they use a paint can opener...I went to Home Depot, bought one for .46 and used a Dremel to grind it to fit the plunger. It works pretty well, so I'll keep it in my range bag but I plan to order a tool from GP100man anyway for the tool box, as I expect his works even better.

I definitely plan to put the Alaskan through more testing before I am totally convinced it was an ammo issue...but I sure felt better running 50 rounds of another brand through it w/o a problem but then having it reappear using the Serbian stuff. Thanks everyone for your input on this.

I have no idea why the DA worked over the SA...a friend who is an avid shootist speculated that the mechanics of DA input more "leverage" into firing the next round than a simple pull back on the hammer in SA.

Thanks Guru: I heard back from him...he's anticipating making more this week. The cost is 10.00, which I need to send to him.

Many thanks guys...I'll clean her well and take it step by step to eliminate the causes. Btw, I just picked up a new GP 100 yesterday in SS 4" .357 Sure am looking forward to shooting it.

Thanks Hittman...but if there was grit under the star from the mag ammo, wouldn't the next cylinderful of .44 special ammo bind up too?

Hi Everyone...new guy to the forum here and I really could use your advice. I've had this Alaskan for about a year and love it. So far, I have about 200 rounds through it of .44 magnum and special (various brands) without a hiccup. However at the NRA Range the other day, I had real trouble with...
