Browning Buck Mark

I bought this model about two years ago,

I love this pistol. But, it’s like bad love.

Every trip to the range involves a few FTEs. It really gets bad with lead rounds. Sometimes it gets frustrating. When I first got this pistol I had tons of FTF and FTEs…..Shite! The more I shoot it the better, incrementally it gets.

The good. It fits my hand like a glove, very, very accurate. When it’s on, it’s on. I like it because it’s cheap to shoot, very cheap. I like the looks; I think it’s a classic design.

Would I buy this pistol over again? Yeah. It’s a bad love but I can’t help myself.

I've had flawless performance from my Buckmark using CCI Mini-Mags. I've had trouble with CCI Stingers (too long) and lead bullets too (maybe the problem isn't the lead, but Remington .22 ammo in general). The best bulk pack for my .22s is Federal. They work great except for the occasional failure to fire. Also, .22s get dirty in a hurry and a good cleaning after every range trip dramatically reduces problems.

Nice looking Buckmark, BTW.

Looks like there are two threads running at the same time on the exact same thing. See http://www.okshooters.com/forums/showthread.php?t=112691

when using cheap/bulk .22lr ammo... failure to fire are part of what you get. Remington Gold .22lr in bulk from Walmart had LOTS of FTF for me. one of the rare times they offered to take it back and give a refund on ammo.

some folks had better luck with Federal bulk .22lr... others had lots of FTF ... with bulk .22 ammo, expect a few failure to fire.

I took mine right out of the box last week and shot 200rds of CCI mini mag without a single hiccup. $7/100rds is worth it to me for perfect running 22lr

I own two Buckmarks. They both work very reliably with Federal 40gr Automatch Target. It isn't too pricey and seems to burn clean without a ton of fouling. Keep em clean and they'll run like a top!

you have not stated failure to fire is from gun jamming or bad ammo
have you taken the jammed rounds and try to fire again?
