Don't think I'll be selling my MKIII Hunter any time soon. Just had it out today making one big ragged hole in the paper. FWIW, the first time I did a field strip, it was somewhat frustrating (to say the least). It's not nearly so difficult after it's done a few times.
I am also looking for a Browning Buck Mark (either camper or hunter) to replace a Ruger 22/45. The 22/45 is solid and reliable, but the grip angle just didn't work for me. Interesting to hear that some Brownings may be finicky with certain ammo, the Rugers are hard to beat in this regard. Thanks for all the info!
The 22/45 and the Buckmark have the same grip angle.
So I went out and did some comparison shopping with the feedback I rec'd on his forum. I ended up settling in on a Ruger MKIII Target with the 5.5 Bull barrel in stainless. Sweet little gun.......ordered it from Davidson's and had it shipped to my gunsmith. Saved about $75 plus tax over anything I could find locally. Davidson's has a great warranty plus their running a sale on these pistols now.
