Well it's official. I have a new favorite pistol. Mrs. TurboDiesel got me a Browning Buckmark for Christmas. I finally got to shoot it yesterday and I never realized that a gun could be so easy to shoot. I shot about the first 40 shots without making any adjustments. It was hitting about 2.5 " high and about 3/4" left. So I gave the rear site elevation knob a spin with my fingernail and it went 5 clicks. Then I shot about another 50 rounds and I really liked what I saw. Here is the target. The groups were 10 rounds each and fired in about 7-10 seconds at about 30' off hand Note, there is nothing scientific here. Just breaking in the new toy. Also, I wasnt the only one shooting this target, so there are shots scattered around that weren't mine Sorry for the grainy cell pic
I think we talked about the mags before. I did find one here in town. need to order a few more from BPS Thanks for reminding me
Hoping to get out to a range soon and run a few hundred through mine. Heard about a free range not too far from us.
Do you have a (or have you held) a Ruger Mark I,II,III? I traded a 10/22 back in the winter for a Mark I, and the grip seems a lot smaller. I've let my 7 year old daughter shoot both, and she much prefers the Ruger because of the grip size.
Everyone that has one loves them. When I went looking for a 22, the Ruger was at the top of my list. I really wanted one. But It was so uncomfortable for me that I just could not get past the the feel. The sharp squared corners made it a no go.
Sharp corners? Are you referring to the 22/45? Because my Mark I is very rounded, and pretty comfortable and the II and III should be the same. The 22/45 on the other hand has a plastic lower instead of metal and a larger grip and more shallow angle to match the 1911. It feels cheap to me.
I've custom built a number of MK l's and ll's, and currently have a few. The grip angle fits me fine. The Walther P-22 is the best fit for me though. Just something about the Buckmark wasn't right.
