i have a browning buckmark and dad has a ruger mark 2....both shoot equally....both function great.....but when it comes to cleaning the buckmark is easier.....theres gota be a trick or something dad doesnt know about cleaning it.....but he has trouble....and can clean most any weapon down to the nitty gritty....but that thing when he disassembles it he has trouble with one part.......cant remember what part....when i get the cash laying around im going to put target grips and a target sight on mine i think.....love shootin 22 pistols...cheap...and its a blast.....throw a few cans out there and blast away
