The Browning Buckmark is getting traded in or sold

cookie · Apr 18, 2020

I have a Browning Buckmark it is very accurate and the trigger is pretty nice the problem is every other time I take it to the range It bites my thumb and causes a bleeding gash. It is the way I hold it ! I can fire a 1911, Glock or XD or 22/45 even a Browning high power doesn't bit me. I am so up set. Tuesday or wendsday it is gone I feel so much better getting this off my chest

Rant over !!

Which version? Do you have a pic? They have quite few different grip frame styles and some have better beaver tails than others.

Cookie. I am desolated to hear of your pain. I can't help but think that maybe you should send that bad boy to my FFL so you don't have to face it any longer.

Contact me if I can help.

My thumb gets pinched between the bolt and barrel. It is a really nice gun.

I have some target grips on my Buckmark with a thumb rest. I wonder is something like that would help you?

I've known a few biters that I truly enjoined spending time with. I've found that wearing suitable protection eliminated having to make embarrassing explanations to my wife later. :s0001:

Wearing a glove may help.

I traded the Buckmark in for a Ruger 22/45 I have a worn 22/45 that I bought in the year 2000 The 22/45 probably has close to 100,000 rounds through it the barrel face is peened by the shape of the bolt and the trigger sear and "hammer is visibly worn . That is why Ii bought the used Buckmark. It was a great shooter . The new 22/45 puts a huge smile on my face and what an improvement over the old one.
