New Browning Buckmark UFX

[ChocoRolles]

Hey Calgunners,
I just put my Buckmark in jail and I am really excited to pick it up and shoot it. This is my first .22 pistol and after some research I was between the Buckmark and the 22/45, but I decided to go with the Buckmark. Is there anything I need to do before shooting it, like cleaning it?

I clean all of my guns before shooting them.

Clean it first. Do not forget apply blue loc-tite to two sight base screws, or it could walk out by itself during firing.(Also check above screws often at range between mag changes to make sure they are not loose)

Enjoy the buckmark which is one of the finest mass producted 22 pistol.

A little plumbers tape on the screw can help too. I've had it back out and you start to get light strikes.

Also, you MUST, I mean you MUST get the "Ultimate ClipLoader".

You can load those mags lightning quick with a little practice.

+1 on the plumbers tape, found that trick on RFC after struggling for awhile with the screws backing out.

OH yeah, you might want to remove the magazine disconnect.
I find it to be a nuisance, though I suppose if you were using it to train lots of newbies you might want to leave it in.

A set of high quality hex drivers as well. Don't use those little L shaped guys.


Do NOT dry fire this firearm. Some of them will gouge into the barrel damaging it, some don't.
Best to use a snap cap or spent round.

[ChocoRolles]

Thanks guys I will make sure to keep an eye on the screws. For snap caps I am using the yellow ribbed anchors.

It's easy to tell if you can dryfire without a snap cap. Slide a piece of paper into the slide and pull the trigger. If it makes a distinct mark on the paper, don't dryfire empty.

Once you get used to it, try the "Heggis Flip":

This simple spring flip dropped my trigger pull almost in half, to a bit under 3 lbs. In this configuration, the trigger is too light (and potentially unsafe) for newbie shooters, so only use it for experienced shooters.
