A nice Browning Buck Mark followed me home today

I've been drooling over this Buck Mark Varmint for a few weeks now at my favorite LGS pawnshop, even saw a few online that looked nice too. Anyway, I headed up there today with a handgun that just wasn't one I really cared to shoot, hoping they still had the Buck Mark, and hoping for a trade.

It all happened: trade deal struck, the Buck Mark is mine

The red dot is not really my favorite but it came with the gun, maybe with a fresh battery it will be fine. The gun itself is in decent condition, the previous owner is well know to the gun shop owner who reassured me this one has seen more time in the safe than at work.

Figured I'd share a picture with the good folks here at THR.

What is that barrel, 10" or 12" long?

The buckmarks are nice soft shooting pistols with good triggers. But be wary of taking the grip panels off because they hold all the guts in and it's a major chore to get them back on with everything lined up right.

Guys, I had this one to the range today, it is accurate beyond my wildest imagination

Only issue I see so far is failure to last round hold open, that may be the mag, not sure, I was having so much fun I didn't really care too much.

I shot standard velocity, mini-mags, hyper-velocity, oxidized old rounds in a bag, didn't make any difference, it hit the target at 25 yards using a Primary Arms red dot where I aimed it every time.

Now to make it mine with an optic suited to my eyes, this one could become my wholly grail .22lr gun. I have a good feeling about it.
