Browning BUCK MARK PLUS .22 LR ROSEWOOD UDX FOS - 5.5" Barrel, 10+1 Rounds, Wood Grips

Can't beat anything that Browning makes. They are true works of skilled craftsmen. The rosewood stock adds extra beauty to this splendid pistol. Put a red dot on it and it is dead on.

Product: (See similar review on Stainless model page) The Browning Buck Mark UDX may be the most comfortable and well-balanced pistol I have ever held! It isn't light; It's solid. The grip feels like it was shaped from soft clay I squeezed with my hand. I love the rounded back of the grip. The safety and slide-release levers are wide and easy to use, though the slide release is forward a bit for smaller hands. Pushing the safety up with a thumb is hard with a normal grip, but I don't activate it that way, anyways. The fit and finish on this model is fantastic. The trigger pull is about 4lbs, crisp, and super-short. It's not adjustable, but it doesn't need to be. I put about 250 rounds through each of them (more on that below) the first day, both CCI Mini Mags and Federal Match bulk ammo. It fired both easily, no failures, and with nearly no recoil. Sights are fantastic--long sight radius with fiber-optic front for easy target acquisition. The sights were factory set for much further away than the 25 yard maximum my son and I were shooting. We were hitting quite high. The Pro-Target rear sight easily adjusted in positive clicks with a gun-lock key until we zeroed in some off-hand groups at 75' all in a 5" circle. It was amazingly fun and made me feel much more accurate than I am with my bad eyesight! I purchased two of these: the Black/Rosewood model above for my son, and the Stainless/Black frame/Black Laminate grips for me with the intention of switching the grips (super easy with just an hex wrench - took less than 5 minutes). the Black frame sided with the Blackish/Gray laminated grips looks stealthy or tactical, yet still classy. The stainless with Rosewood is a beautiful, wealthy look, much like the limited production Damascus model. They both shoot equally well and feel exactly the same in the hand, which you'd expect. My son hopes to put a rail and optic on top in the future, an easy upgrade on this model. Buds Service: This isn't the first time we've used Buds. This is the first time I've used their price-match. Although Buds automated match software couldn't match the exact price I found elsewhere, there was no shipping cost here so Buds wins! Using a credit card would be faster, but to get the best deal, we used the cash discount price. This requires a waiting period, usually about 5 business days, adding a few days shipping on the back to our FFL. It was interesting that the two guns ordered together shipped separately, perhaps from different warehouses in the country. I received an email update for each pistol when the order was processed, then another when they shipped. I appreciate the ease of Buds online process. I'll use them again when I find a product at the right price.
