I’d love to try a Browning Buckmark. I like my Ruger Mark II but it can be a pain to disassemble, clean and reassemble.

The Buck is no breeze either. The new Ruger Mk4 seems like a keeper. My problem with the Buckmark was having to re-zero after cleaning.

Try the newer MK IV, they disassemble with the push of a single button.. Easiest pistol to disassemble and reassemble ever made. This is what makes Rugers better, they make improvements by introducing newer models. How many Buckmark models are there? And don’t try and say they have no room for improvement, they are far from perfect.

“For the long of time before the Ruger Mark IV, it was horrendous to assemble the pistol back together.”

If Ruger would offer a trade-in program, I’d upgrade my MK III to the MK IV. Until then, I’m “stuck” with the MK III...but, that’s OK.

I have a Ruger Mark I. It’s very accurate and as long as you use CCI minimags, has no stove piping issues. One thing I’ve learned though: NEVER disassemble it. That thing was so impossible to put back together, I had to take it to a gunsmith to reassemble. They got it done but even they bitched about how difficult it was when I picked it up. After trying for three days and tearing my hands up, I knew exactly what they were talking about.

There are instructions on the internet/YouTube that make reassembly doable (if you hold your mouth just right). I’ve done it a couple of times—but not from memory—I had to strictly follow the printed directions. But it can be done!
