      That's the truth. One of the ROs at LAR&G loves it when I break out my Buck Mark. It's a 5.5" Contour with a Burris Fastfire III. Why does he love it? Because I use it to shoot out the staples in my target to drop it free. No, I can't shoot the nuts off a flea nor give it a vasectomy, but if I hold it steady, I can shoot the staples. It's an accurate and fun gun.

      PS to the OP - Get the little Wilson Combat mag loader for it. It's helpful. And buy mags when you find them on sale. They usually sell for around $30, but if you check all the regular websites, I've bought some for as low as $22 on sale.

        Buy this worth every dime......




        The two hex screws on top can sometimes loosen leading to light strikes.
        Use plumbers tape or a touch of blue locktite to prevent during re-assembly.

        Might not be a good idea to dryfire, from what I've read this can vary one to the next, you can check with a piece of paper to see if it is striking the barrel or not if I recall correctly.

        Picture of potential damage here....



        The magazine disconnect can easily be removed if desired....




        They are so fun.

          My Buckmark is a great shooter. It is fun and cheap to shoot.

            I think the Buckmark is the best .22LR semi auto pistol you can buy and love mine. It's accurate and has a great trigger out of the box which is good because aftermarket support isn't great.

              Congrats on a great shooting gun. Now time to find .22.

                +1 for the TACSOL barrel. I love this gun, always makes me feel like a Bond Villain when I shoot it! Also has the Tacsol compensator. Now, the correct Calguns answer is to get a Ruger as well, but that is a challenge nowadays

                  No need to downgrade and get the Ruger

                    Mine feels like a cap gun after shooting my G23 . I've had a few fte with the bucket of bullets but everything else has worked flawless.

                      I've got a Buckmark that I've had for almost 20 years. A couple years ago I upgraded from the stock 5.5" steel stock barrel to a 7.5" Tactical Solutions Tac Lite 7.5" barrel and added a Trijicon 3.25MOS RMR on a Tactical Solutions rail. It's really a lot of fun and can likely generate groups tighter than I can. It makes converting non shooters easy and a lot of fun. They get fascinated with the red dot and aren't freaked out by the recoil, especially when they immediately get on the paper.

                      I'd love a S&W Model 41 and will hopefully score one someday, but for now, this rig rocks!

                      Good stuff!

                        You CGers keep making me spend money.
                        May have to get a new barrel or two.
                        My wife has the stainless version and that is her favorite.

                          I'd love to get a Tac Sol barrel for my buckmark.
                          Did you guy have the threaded barrel shipped here and have the compensator welded on later.

                            For those who have a Ruger Mark II/III pistol and the Buckmark: which one is heavier or are they both about the same weight?

                              Crap, I just talked myself out of getting one. Now this.
                              thanks, guys.
