First, welcome to the forum, hope you keep up the involvement.

My standard BuckMark (bought in 1986) does not like lead bullets too much, but pretty much runs with any copper-coated ammo. It might help that I polished the feed ramp long ago. My Target Model is more finicky and shoots the Remington Yellow Jackets and Federal stuff fairly well, but really loves the CCI stuff.
Both are at their best accuracy-wise (quarter-sized and smaller groups from a sandbag) with the CCI Mini-Mags.

They come apart no problem at all.  What you heard about putting the Ruger back together was no lie!  PITA!  

The procedure goes something like. "Point it at the moon, put in the slide, wrap your head in tin foil, bark three times while jumping up and down, pull the trigger, wiggle the slide, put in the magazine, pull it out, snap shut the contraption that holds it all together, do the hokey pokey, and that's what its all about!"   ::)

And yet, I still love mine!   :)

Here is a mod to the Ruger 22. pistol.  A bit pricy but it makes stripping a lot easier and helps a bit on the trigger.

I finally figured out the tricks after many many hellish cleanings.   :( 

The two key points are

1:  Insert the magazine and pull the trigger. 

2:  As your putting in the last piece (you know the one, the bastich thing that goes in the back of the grip!) you'll see a spring loaded dimple in that piece.  Point the gun up / at an angle so the little black dongle inside the gun lines up with the spring loaded dimple in the bastich.  ;D

ONLY gun in the world I'll bet that tells you "hit it with a hammer" in the manual!!!   :o

From the Colt .22 Target Pistol, aka my Han Solo Blaster looking thing,...likes Winchester, Remington, and standard CCI. HP's, or not doesn't seem to matter.

However, American Eagle will not cycle. But works fine in my Ruger 10/22 rifle.

As posted, .22's are a dirty round. A swab of the barrel, and a quick wipe of the action, after 100 +/- rds. can keep your shots tighter and more consistent.

Some older .22's shoot 40 year old "whatever", without even a hiccup, however, newer pistols tend to be built to tighter tolerances, and more exacting fit...Which tends to effect things when shooting many rds.

I don't use a red dot on my Colt, but experiment and get what you expect it to do and in correlation to your own exp.

Welcome to DRTV. With the price of ammo only going in one direction, all of love our .22's.... ;D

Good shooting.

Welcome to the forum. What most of what has been said is true. HOWEVER, I disagree on the red dot advice, in that the Eotech is much too large for the Buckmark. IMHO. It looks like a big honking thing on the top of a very svelte firearm. You can't go wrong with a reflex sight such as a Burris Fastfire, Trijicon RMR, or a Leupold Deltapoint. But, just as good as the Burris, is a reflex sight made by Primary Arms for $75.00. Check it out, well worth the money. I have no personal experience with the Trijicon or Leupold.

As far as ammo, I had a lot of problems with my stock Browning. It refused to purr along on anything, except CCI MiniMags. I couldn't get through a mag of the other stuff without it coughing and gagging. CCI's, on the other hand sailed through great! I have since replaced the extractor and swapped out the barrel for a TacSol, and it eats anything I feed it. It is now as good as my Rugers as far as what it eats. It thens just a matter of finding out what it likes best. Try everything you can get. find the one or two that your firearm likes, and stock up. also check out this web site http://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/index.php. There is a lot of good advice there for all rimfires.

Brian, Thanks a lot for the info on the different reflex sights...what do you have on your Buckmark?  Pretty cool barrel you have as well?  Is that a suppressor, that is also good looking!
Went to Wallmart and got one box of  CCI 100 .22 LR HP for $6.47 ....i thought it was a great price!
