Same as any other dealer down states. You have the wait list, too.

I'm pretty sure an Alaska dealer will only sell to you if you have an Alaska DL (or mainly a physical Alaska address.)

You can also buy a gun in FL & have it shipped up to a gun shop in AK.

waiting period? No waiting period. Just a background check that takes about 1 minute.
You have to be a resident. Just buy one in florida and take it with you when you travel.
As long as you don't drive into canada your fine. I took my 454 casull with me this summer to Ak. Just has to be in a hardcase that can be locked and tell them you have a firearm when you check in at the airport. No problem (as of now)

Moose is correct....you cannot take possession of a handgun purchased from a dealer in Alaska as a non-resident

454.....
