Sell me a .22 (i mean the model, not an actual firearm)

[rustysdream]

I've had different Ruger models and had two S&W-s besides my previous Buck Mark. Finally, I've decided to keep only one, the Browning. I like the design and IMO, it has the best trigger of all.

I opted for a s&w 41. The browning buckmark udx would be my second choice. It has an aluminum frame, which I would prefer over polymer. The grip on the mark 3 doesn't really appeal to me either but you can get other grips for reasonably cheap. The 22/45 is a polymer frame but you can get the rp model to put on different 1911 grips.

If you want accurate these would be the ones to look at

Smith & Wesson Model 41 or 46, You can even get it with a 7 inch barrel for the metallic silhouette. Its all steel, very accurate, and has a very natural grip angle.

Great choice but a little pricey for a new 41..but can't miss with that choice

Absolutly a great option.. have both and the Buckmark is a winner

So nobody with a buckmark is having POI shifts after disassembly?

What's your budget?

For $$$$$... any of the European offering

- FWB AW93
- Walther GSP/SSP
- Morini CM 22



For $$$
- S&W M41
- Hammerli 208 (if you can find one)
- Benelli MP95

For $$
- Browning Buckmark (had a secret crush on their silhouette model )

If already have a 1911... You could also look for a conversion kit from Marvel.

Depending on your budget these would also be good options, although more specialized. I've shot the 41 and the Walther GSP. Both are excellent.

I have shot a Hi-Standard Military Model that was nice, but my Ruger Mk.III Competition Target Model works like a charm.

Only thing about my Ruger is, the barrel under the front sight was drilled off center by a large visible amount, about 2 degrees. Might not sound like much, but look down the sights and it was annoying as hell.

I re-drilled and tapped a bit further forward, just enough for the holes not to intersect and the trimmed back the front of the sight 1/16" and re-blued the front.

I bought the gun new through mail order and didn't want to screw with warranty crap so I fixed it myself.

I sure wasn't impressed with THAT though, how would that ever pass QC?!! I'm sure someone noticed it and OK'd it anyway.

In my mind, that's a pretty serious FU, something I figured Ruger was beyond.
