I got tired of waiting on Buckmarks and caved in to the Ruger 22/45 Lite. The newer version with black fluted barrel.
I did a ton of research and the Buckmark Contour was my choice due to having the integral rail on the rib. I think you have to lose the read sight or ability to easily swap between open and optic with any other models. The Ruger includes a rail mount that fits snugly between the front and rear sight. That-and the weight to backpack this pistol.
But I would still love to try a Buckmark some day. I can tell you my Ruger trigger would not leave one wanting to increase it any.....
With the shortage of .22 I don't see myself scratching that Buckmark itch for some time.
