I am looking for another 22 auto pistol I have 3 Rugers but was thinking about going with another model this time.

I have looked at the S&W 22A the Bretta NEOS and the Browning Buckmark.

I am looking for the best VALUE based on these factors. Price, Accuracy & Function and overall looks I do not like all black guns. I love wood grips and contrast

Also is there a model I am missing that I may want to look at?


If it jams force it! If it breaks it needed replacing anyway.

I have a buckmark and love it. It has been reliable and accurate.
I use it to squirrel and rabbit hunt and have taken quite a few.
Have had it 8 years and shot alot of rounds thru it with no problems.Price at that time was real resonable.

I've always been partial to the looks of the Buckmark too but never owned one.

I have buckmark, nickel finish, laminate grips and fiber optic site, looks nice carries well. Shoots good-seems partial to red squirrels instead of grey,,lol. Only thing is lubed winchester ammo is only ammo that doesnt jam.

I have a Smith 22A its so far been very accurate but it tends to have a few failure to feeds, about one every 20 rounds or so. I believe it is just a mag problem but have not been able to fix it yet. Trade ya for a ruger!?

Own a Buckmark for a number of years and happy I bought it. It shoots good with different ammunition with few malfunctions.Recently purchased an aftermarket 7" fluted barrel by Tactical Solutions out of Boise, Idaho that is very accurate.

I have a Browning Buckmark with a 6 inch fluted barrel and rosewood target handel. I love it. I originally bought it to shoot in a smallbore league. I put a red dot on it and that made it even better. I have a picture of it on the bragging board.
