Which one? - Page 2

My Mark II is a Chinese puzzle when it comes to disassembly and reassembly. It's a sweet shooter and darned accurate. Rugers have a heap of after-market add-ons as well for target shooting and suppression. Overall, some big pluses and minuses.

I know folks who love the buck mark. I reckon fit and finish a little nicer with the Browning. Either way, can't go wrong.

I have 3 Buckmarks for sihoulette shooting, and they are outstanding. I have used one of them for over 25 years, and it is still going strong. Ruger does make a great .22, but the Buckmarks and Contenders are dominate in our area.

I prefer the Rugers because you can do a little more with them, but think that the Brownings are a little better off the shelf.

Both are well made and accurate. I personally prefer the Browning grip over the Ruger's.

I realize that most conversion kits work fine, but this has just left me with a bad taste in my mouth and I would rather get a dedicated pistol at this point.

Sounds to me like a poor quality kit.

I agree, breakdown and assemble is a thumbs down.

I'd go with the Browning and/or a high quality .22 LR conversion "top end" for your 1911.

I have the Browning, but a friend has a Kimber .22lr conversion that seems to work pretty well. According to him, it isn't as accurate as a .22 pistol, but is close.
