I don't care though. Okay maybe a little. Nobody likes paying to much. I've owned the usual array of inexpensive and downright cheap .22LR / .22WMR revolvers. RG/Rohm. Buffalo Scout, H&R, FIE, Heritage, etc. Some might still be in my safe. One RG was actually my working gun when I ran trap lines. Most were of mediocre accuracy, although I harvested my first wild rabbit with one in the 70s as a kid. My trapline working gun didn't have to be very accurate since I used it for dispatching dangerous animals at point blank range with CB shorts. I also carried a shotgun when running traps for actual small game hunting.
Side Note. Three CB shorts inside the brain case of a badger may still not put it down hard enough to keep it from jumping up to take a bite at you one more time.
Side Side Note: Badger is greasy and tough, but very tasty. Not as tasty as bobcat, but not bad.
Anyway I have always wanted a "target" pistol in .22LR. I finally bought one. I looked at Ruger Mark series pistols, but I still have heartburn 35ish years later over how crappy the brand new Mini-14 was that I saved up for months to buy back in the 80s. Yes, I do recall I told you guys I bought a new LCP II, but nobody expects a pocket gun to be much good past ten yards or so anyway. I do have a bid out on a Mark II, but my max is pretty low. I'm sure I won't get it. If I do I'll probably do a bench test heads up against the gun I did buy. In a box of old Christmas presents I think I have a pistol bag so I can do a fair comparison of the gun instead of just how I shoot the gun.
I bought a used flat side Browning Buckmark Target. The seller has already wasted a day so the odds of getting it this week are slim, but I am a little excited... to find out if its accurate, to find out if it cylces reliably or its wore out, to test it with different rounds, to just go ventilate some cans so the dangerous gases can escape, and maybe even resume my life long war on green bottles.
