This thread made me go to Gander Mountain on the way home from work today to see which one I "need". Tried on a Ruger MkIII "target" and a Browning Buckmark "standard" with the molded grips. The Buckmark fit much nicer. D@mn, now I "need" to round one up. When I got home I had to go out back and fire off a bunch of rounds out of my Colt .22 peacemaker revolver and my daughters Phoenix HP22..... Yep, I "need" a better .22 target pistol.

I know the Colt revolver is worth a decent chunk of change, but it just sucks for target shooting. Sure if I practiced a bit more with it, I could get better, but it is just a hassel to reload and will never be a tack driver like a Buckmark or Ruger would be. Sorry Higgins, but my revolvers (.44 Mag Blackhawk and aforementioned .22 Colt) are just not as fun to shoot as my semiautos. Being that I shoot pistols for mainly for "fun", I am thinking maybe I should get rid of the revolvers someday when a good opportunity arises.
