I'm thumbs down on the fiber optic (?) front site. I see it on the late models Ruger's also. Looks awfull fragile for long term use. A metal blade for me is fine.

I'm about to head out the door to shoot it. Picked it up late last night. No fiber optics on this - just metal sights though they are adjustable (this is the Buck Mark 5.5 Target: http://www.browning.com/products/catalog/firearms/detail.asp?value=006B&cat_id=051&type_id=402). Pics and range report to follow

Indoor range, silly. I wore my ducati cap to cover my helmet head from a 380 mile ride to Joshua tree and back. Short story is the buck mark is awesome. Trigger is like butter out of the box and it just feels right. The g/f was impressed with it. Also zeroed the scope on the 10/22. She liked that as well. Tomorrow I'll put a couple 100 rounds through the buck mark and get a better feel for it. Ran out of time tonight.

I've heard that the Buckmarks are excellent pistols.

Put another 200 rounds through it today. Starting to get the feel for it - sighting it is different than the Sigs. Solid gun though - great fun and the groups are slowly getting tighter. I have to say that I'm not sold on the sight hoods. I'm likely going to pop them off and see how it handles/sights. The sad thing is that now I'm pondering one of these:
