Buckmark vs Ruger 22/45

Thanks for all the replies guys. I'm still up in the air but leaning toward the buckmark.

You honestly wouldn't be bad off with an older Ruger either, Mark I's and II's are pretty readily available on gunbroker and such, they are significantly higher quality than the Mk III 22/45.

I have a couple MKII's and much beter quality than the new Rugers. Go with a Buckmark if buying new

I have both the Ruger 22/45 and the Buckmark, both are good right out of the box but the Buckmark has a better feel and is most certainly more accurate. I prefer the ergos on the Buckmark over the Ruger also.

I have a two Rugers 22/45 & Mark111, also have the Browning Buckmark all are fun to shoot, the Buckmark seems to be my favorite to shoot, just a better feel and it is a tack driver.  That said I also have a S&W 617 a little more money but a great shooter, nothing beats a good wheel gun. Which ever one you decide you won't be disappointed you will need to find the ammo that works beast for you. I find that I have better luck with the CCI 40gr.  I don't shoot 36 gr ammo it seems to not cycle through after a full day of shooting.

 :)I prefer the standard ruger to the 22/45. on the 22/45 I keep hitting the mag release, guess I am a klutz.
I prefer the Ruger to the Buckmark.

I have a Pre mk1 and never had an issue I can't speak for the newer ruger. I handled and shot a buckmark and they are a fine gun, I would think if new go buckmark but if you can snag a older tiger I would do that

One reason a I leaning toward the buckmark is the feel. The grip seems to be alot more comfortable to me. From everything I have read they both seem really good shooters, I will look into the older rugers as well. Once again, thanks for all the replies fellas
