    I just sold my Buckmark URX Stainless... its a sweet little pistol man! I would have to agree with being careful with that top on disassembly... a little blue lock tight can help that once it happens though!

    There are a ton of youtube clips on how to reverse the trigger spring on it... gives you a nice trigger mod that lightens it up to about 2.5-3 lbs... I did it to mine and it was awesome!

    Anyway, have fun shooting!

    Add me to the BuckMark owner's club. Mine looks almost exactly like yours except my barrel is flat on the sides. It's a good shooter.

    I don't own a buckmark but i do own a Ruger 22/45 and I can promise you that this gun will become a favorite of yours real quick. I love my .22 pistol, they are accurate, cheap to shoot and just plain good ole fun. I have over 2000 rounds through my MKIII in the few months I have owned it and just love shooting it. You made a great purchase, your only regret will be waiting till now to buy one, you'll wish you did it years ago. have fun shooting and be safe

    Had one, thought the slop in thew strut for the sear and trigger pin to be a bit much for serious target work- mine just a field model.

    The target models have adj sear engagement and trigger over travel (the latter you can convert/make yourself). But they're pricey.

    If I can find a reasonably priced Varmint model I'll snag one.

    I have ran over 500 rounds through my Buckmark in an afternoon more times then i can remember and had several others shoot it with the reply man that is a great pistol and i believe you will know this your first time to the range.. I did find a bad one at the range one day that was nickel plated and the plating was coming off of the slide causing a jamming problem, beware of the plated autos.

    And try the Ultimate ClipLoader by McFadden Machine. Very slick way to load the magazine (even though it is called a clip loader) without putting a hurt on your thumb and fingers. Not a paid ad, just my experience.

    Downside is you will go through the 550 box of 22LRs much quicker.

    Well, I took it to the range today for the first time and put probably 120-150 rounds through it (only had half an hour). To all of you that said I would like this pistol I would just like to say... you were absolutely RIGHT! :rockwoot:It was shooting just a tad left, but consistently so, so I have a little adjustment to do on the rear sight (not much) and I didn't take a screwdriver with me. Love this gun! It's a lot easier to see the targets when I don't have those $ signs floating up in front of my eyes from the ammo cost too! :):

    You know, I was concerned about that, but the Buck Mark mag (mine at least) has a button on the side that lets you pull the follower down and then the rounds just more or less drop in. That's a nice feature for a magazine, and one I'd not seen before. Wish my other semi-autos had it!

    Love my Super-Buck Mark! (will transform to ULTIMATE Buck Mark once the ATF finally gets around to the paperwork for my Sparrow)

    And the Ultimate clip loader is probably one of the greatest things ever.
