Need advice for .22lr pistol

It was an old statement from an old owner of the company. Really has nothing to do with this statement.

Do you guys think the loaded chamber indicator on the mkIII hinders reliability?

I have a MKIII Hunter and IMHO the LCI does NOT hinder reliability.

The Buckmark and Mk I/II/II are different enough that most prefer one or the other.

Both are great guns. The Browning may be more accurate out-of-the-box, but the Ruger is more customizable... both will outshoot any but the most expert pistolero.

If you find one (not likely, but they're out there) grab a Norinco TT-Olympia. An all-steel copy of the Walther Olympia target pistol. Quite accurate, great trigger, reliable as a baseball bat. The only downsides are the mags only hold 8 rounds (and replacements are scarce and about sixty bucks each), and the (very comfortable) grips look like they were checkered by a drunk guy with a fork.

Any Hi-Standard, used S&W, or Colt Woodsman will also serve you well for the rest of your natural life. And your grandkids' lives.

After you spend some quality time with your brass-chucker, you'll get a hankerin' for a Single Six. Submit to that hankerin'... you won't regret it.

.22 pistols are just fun. If a .22 pistol, a brick of bulk ammo, and a bunch of empty Coke cans doesn't add up to a perfect afternoon, sell all of your guns and take up golf... you just don't get it.
