Ruger Mark III VS VS VS Browning Buckmark

[cktoct]

Both good bit of that paragraph is that where there is lack?

Experience 3 Ruger Mark jam much.

Seriously though... I have had nothing but numerous FTFs with the two Ruger Mark 3 that I have tried. Not had any experience with the Browning Buckmark.

My vote for the Buckmark , like the trigger better and the ergo but would not turn down a deal on a Ruger..

Your mark 3 jams? Guess you got a bad one (or batch?). I polished my bolt and the bolt goes back smooth like butter. Feeds anything. Even cycles and feeds most of the time with CCI Quiets.

I'll try my best not to praise the Rugger MkII 22/45.....

Ya, I don't know what the issues were with both. They were owned by different people and both different batches of ammo. Everything I have read of them says otherwise. I ended up buying that little Browning 1911-A1. Eats everything.

Same here. No FTF's or FTE's with my MKIII. Buddy has no trouble with his MKII either.

Mines since been heavily modified though lol, or atleast what I would consider heavily. Which I guess is 1 bonus for the MK III, accessories, not that it needs it.

There is a tops guns episode hosted by Colby Donaldson on this comparison.
Check out episode #7 'deuces wild'
Don't have a link but I'm sure it's on YouTube or history channel.

oh no why

I have two Buckmarks that are 15 years old and they have never let me down. Don't seem to like super waxy ammo - specifically the Win stuff, but will digest anything else. Super accurate and great ergos.

Just a matter of preference. Both pistols are good, and both needs a little work. I personally prefer a Buckmark and I own a Contour 5.25. Whatever suits your need, win-win situation.
