I picked up a new Buckmark from Gander Mountain that's marketed as the "Tactical" model. In talking with a manager at the store I learned that it's a Gander Mountain exclusive direct from Browning. I haven't seen one pictured anywhere online so I thought I would post a few pictures of mine.
Personally, I think it's a pretty good looking Buckmark. I might be a bit biased though!
I was considering getting a Burris FastFire II for it but have never shot with a red dot before so I figured I'd try out the Barska first and see if I liked it before shelling out the extra cash. I've already done a little bit of work polishing various parts and did the "Heggis Flip" on it. I've got a bunch of spare parts on order including an adjustable trigger which will be getting installed as soon as it shows up.
I shot with the iron sights when I took it out today and ran 6 or 7 different types of ammo through it... Probably about 400 rounds total. Only had problems with some older Federal rounds I had and that was towards the end of the day. But it shot really well. I'm sure the fliers were more my fault than the guns as I'm just starting with pistol shooting. Next time I'll give the red dot a try and see if I like that or not.
