Hey guys,
Well, I think I'ma going to be in the market for another .22 pistol soon. Now, I don't do any formal target shooting, just casual. I have a Ruger KMK678GC and I love it! I was thinking of getting a Ruger KMK512, but I just wanted to check to see what my other options were.
Here are the stipulations.
1) Minimum plastic. I just don't like it. In fact, call me old fashioned, but I hate the stuff . There. I said it.
2) Must be accurate. (Duh. like who would want an inaccurate pistol)
3) Must be $400-ish.
4) Must last a lifetime
I'd get a S&W 41, but my budget just won't allow for it. Plus, I have too many other irons in the fire (CMP Garands, SASS....).
How are the Sig Trailsides? How would the Sig, Ruger Mk II (KMK512), and Browning Buckmark compare? I was looking at either the Buckmark "Bullseye" or the "Field". Would the fact that the Buckmark is aluminum cause longevity issues? I guess I have minor issues with all of the candidates. I mean, the Ruger is a PITA to strip down, the Browning has an aluminum frame, and the Sig has a plastic magazine.
Recommendations?
Thanks all
Rich
