Browning Buckmark

One of the problems with the Buckmark is, there is no provision for anti-backlash in the trigger. When shooting a handgun, if it has a lot of after travel in the trigger, it is difficult to shoot it accurately, especially with one hand. You NEVER see a Buckmark at a sure enough Bullseye Match but you will see Ruger Mark 1-2-3 pistols there.

(Quote) Doug is our resident curmudgeon he hates anything that was made on the last century, for the most part, so take that into consideration.

The Buckmark as I said is not set up to be after travel adjustable. The Ruger Mark 2 and 3 have a screw on the front of the trigger to allow for this adjustment. I have installed a Clark Ruger trigger in my Mark II. It makes the pistol MORE accurate because there is no sideward movement of the pistol when the trigger releases as with the Buckmark when the trigger slaps the frame.

The only US made firearms I think are OK made since 2000 is the Rock River AR15, Mark III Ruger with steel frame, Ruger 10/22 with aluminum trigger guard and the Springfield 1911. They can keep the rest of the plastic and ill machined crap.

Hey Folks thanks for all the reviews. I think I am going shopping for a Ruger. Just can't beat healthy firearm discussion.

Buy a used Mark II in 5.5" or 6 7/8" tapered. THey seem to be more reliable out of the box
