I'm thinking I want a Buckmark as a tinker platform, fun gun, maybe squirrel hunter, possum killer, etc. I rented one similar to this last night:
http://www.browning.com/products/fi...-production/buck-mark-plus-practical-urx.html
It didn't have the rail but did have the URX grip and the fiber optic sight. I usually don't like finger grooves but something about this one felt really good to me. Accurate, solid, great trigger. (FWIW, I also tried a Walther PPQ but didn't like it nearly as much - trigger not as good, not as accurate for me, and this one kept spitting brass back at me which the Buckmark didn't.)
It seems like I could do a lot with this like put a red dot or swap out the grooves with something like these: http://www.browning.com/products/fi...-production/buck-mark-plus-practical-urx.html
And if the HPA passes (or I get tired of waiting for it to), I could put on a threaded barrel like this:http://www.tacticalsol.com/trail-lite/trail-lite-4-threaded-barrels
Or could I? Would I lose the stock rail by putting on the TacSol barrel?
BTW, I am aware of the factory threaded model: http://www.browning.com/products/fi.../buck-mark-field-target-suppressor-ready.html
But that's a different grip frame. Which I may be OK with or maybe not. Probably the smarter option as a finished product but less tinker potential.
Any thoughts?
