I like your thinking
@Scoupe! I’ve had mine about a year now, picked it up brand new for a ridiculous steal plus rebate, and I’ve been very happy with it.
Those concerned about barrel length could always opt for a replacement Browning barrel in a 5.5” or longer, with many of them being under $100. I feel any longer a barrel in the bull would ruin the balance despite having grown up shooting heavy target barrels.
I immediately removed the magazine disconnect wire which helped the trigger pull (wasn’t horrible to begin with) and yesterday I ordered the Gear Box and Victory Trigger from Tandemkross to further clean things up.
I did have a few magazine issues last week at the range which I narrowed down to weak springs. I disassembled all 4 mags and stretched the springs a bit which eliminated feed issues this week. Not a great solution so I also have TK’s Green Springs on the way to replace them.
I think you’re going to enjoy both your BuckMark and having an RDS mounted, makes for a fun afternoon.
Tuesday’s range session, Browning vs Beretta. Virtual tie.
I have to qualify this; I’ve been recovering from Covid, had a friend drive me to the range while I was hooked up to an oxygen bottle, and any activity at this point sends my heart rate into the 130s range. At rest I’m consistently over 90 bpm. Not conducive to small groups and you can see where I was dialing in the RDS, then my 15 yard groups fell apart from fatigue. That’s 3 groups on the right target, 1 at the edge of the paper, then moved up and left, then up and left again for a shotgun group.
