Re: buckmark
Fantastic handgun. One of my favorites in my safe, period. I regularly will put 500 rounds though it in a day, and it is reliable as hell. Trigger is great, gun is accurate, and the gun runs like a champ, even without cleaning.
Buy more mags and a speed loader of some sort and you will be good to go!

Re: buckmark
Great gun, you can do a "heggis flip" and get an even better trigger for free. It just flips the main spring. I would highly reccomend it

I've had my Buckmark since '97, love that little sucker. Probably up to 15k rounds through it and a couple hundred critters.

Re: buckmark
For the money there isn't any better in my opinion. I shoot mine more than the Hi Standard or the Smith 41. We have 2 and one is sighted in for 225 yards and you can't believe how good they shoot.
Good pick for the wife, now to get one for yourself.

Re: buckmark
great to hear all good things. she has a sig mosquito which is fun to shoot but has a horrible trigger but holds "minute of beer can" at 15 steps. Been having her shoot my mark11 22/45 but the trigger slap hurts her finger so when i saw the udx i said hmm mite try that for her

Re: buckmark

Re: buckmark
I love mine as well. I practice regularly with it. I got the heavy barrel model. Wish the mags were a little less expensive.

Re: buckmark
I think the ergos are great on my Buckmark. I have a 5.5" camper model and it runs like a dream. Very few ejection problems. A buddy of mine has a ruger mk3 and between the two, I think mine is more comfortable to hold.
ejd049, I saw cabelas or someone like that has the buckmark mags(factory) on sale this weekend for like $17 each.

Re: buckmark
I have become a big fan of Buckmark's.....especially with a Tactical Solutions barrel and a can screwed on the end......

Re: buckmark
Love mine. Accurate and reliable. It fits my hands perfectly and trigger feels good on finger.
Great little gun to start shooting and learning fundamentals.

Re: buckmark
I also have a ruger 22/45 I like it but I feel like the sights sit higher on the gun. I love my buckmark, I had the standard and did an up grade this year, I added a set of the old target grips (they have a larger thumb rest) and I added a target barrel. It was much cheaper to order these from browning than to buy the target model. These upgrades and the trigger mod make it one sweet shooting gun.

Re: buckmark
Does anyone know the torque value of the two allen headed bolts for the top strap on the Buckmark. After about 200 rounds mine start to loosen up.

Re: buckmark
Yes it does have the star style washers. I would like to torque them to spec to see if it still does it.

Re: buckmark
You're going to love that pistol. I bought one used a few years back and put around 300 rounds through it every time I go to the range. I always introduce new shooters to handguns with my Buckmark as it is accurate as hell, never jams, and is a blast to shoot.
