I have no critism of the Buckmark or MK pistols. Please see my last post. They are great firearms and I highly recomend them. |
I'll fuss a little about them...for people who are new to semi-auto pistols, the Ruger MK's are a bizatchie to learn how to disassemble & reassemble. I highly suggest having access to a friend/local gun guru if you get one for your first pistol.
Heck, some of us old farts have trouble with the dang things too...
Buckmarks are awesome...and easier to deal with.
Old High Standards rule the roost. They're the only American Pistol Mfr to ever win Olympic Gold.
So far...no American MFR has even come close since. Kinda sad, that.
