Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns The Browning Buckmark

Buckmark bolt-ons from Tandemkross. Mag bumpers and a no-logo charging ring. Done with upgrades until my can comes in......

What are you using for packing it around - holster / something else?

I haven't got around to making a kydex holster yet. I'm waiting until I get my can. Will prolly chitcan the laser when I put on the tacsol......

That's the problem with the Buckmark and cans. I don't think any such monster exists.

I'm going to have a custom made. Shoulder rig.

My Google fu hasn't turned up anything, so custom is likely it - need to accommodate the reflex sight anyway...

jgray....get on the list.

Thanks - I understand the Mk I,II,III series holsters fit the Buckmarks and I've been poking around for Ruger holsters. I did see that one but wasn't sure the synthetic material would have enough give for a universal type fit. That would be good one if it fits. Sportsman's Guide has a leather one for scoped Rugers that may be an option also but looks kind of bulky.

The Black Dog doesn't work with the Buckmark. I tried.

My Buckmark seems to fit very well in a leather 1911 belt slide, in case you already have one handy - open bottom so length doesn't matter but muzzle damage might

That charging ring looks like a good addition. Unfortunately it won't work with my older (cheaper?) model BM as it doesn't have the rear cocking serrations and ears. My biggest complaint with mine is the lack of serrations on the slide flats, only in the scallops, which make charging or clearing the chamber difficult.

I don't really like the open bottom holsters with the suppressor. Got a muzzle full of dirt once.

I'm just going to have a custom made for it. Leather is cooler anyway.

Interesting - on other sites, I've seen Tandemkross advertising that Blackdog holster as being for Rugers and Buckmarks. I'll take your word for it and start with something else. That leather one from Sportsman's Guide is supposed to work well...

Nah. I tried it. No worky.

Mine isn't cool like you guys have, but has many miles on it and is carried at least part of every day. They are, I think, the very best "basic" kind of sidearm available, for civilians/old farmers/knock-arounders. Because the little suckers shoot, they really do.

Just found this kydex unit on ebay - looks like it may work with the Fastfire as is or with a little trimming. I'll post it up when it gets here...

OK, my fix isn't as purdy as some of you might need.... but I simply took an Uncle Mikes nylon holster for said Buckmark and trimmed the top section out to allow carry with the reflex sight on-board....

I don't have a "can" so that's a non-issue. The holster works perfect for trail travel and knocking charging diggers on their azz......

I've considered cutting a nylon holster like that - seems like a few have done it with good results. I contacted Simply Rugged - they can do their Cattleman in strong side or cross draw, but no pancake option to work with their Chesty Puller harness. I'm currently trading emails with Bob Mernickle on his chest rig. He has a mold for the slab side Buckmark, but not the bull barrel. He's checking with his mold guy on a bull barrel possibility.

The kydex unit I linked to above was a no go - the aluminum shroud barrel doesn't have the step down and is too big. I'm about to order a HPG kit bag and be done - that's making the most sense at the moment.

I flat love my buckmark. I have a 22/45 and a Ruger target, but the relationship between me and the buckmark are solid. I'm around 2000 rounds since cleaning this thing and can't recall a hangup. I have never taken it apart in 10 years and just spray it out with carb cleaner.

Mrs and I were busting clays at 80 paces yesterday with about a 3 to hit average.

Yup, me too!

I took the BM along with a new SR22 to the range yesterday.
I used the BM with the reflex sight to polish off some clay birds at the 100 yard mark... I don't hit them every shot, but off bags and taking my time, I'm pretty consistent.

The BM trigger is much better than that of the Ruger, but the two also have different purposes for me and work well.

JGray,

Does yours have a can? If so, the Kit Bag sucks. I have one of those too.

And don't forget about my man Norm. He'll make you whatever the fugk you want.
