I just bought a Buck Mark Camper at Academy for $290. Trigger pull is amazing but the sharp edges of the slide can hurt you (I got a few cuts myself). I sanded mine and re-blued it. Mine is also very tough to rack/cycle due to the way the hammer blocks the slide. I filed/sanded the cocking ramp to round it a bit and it cycles much easier now. Unmodified, I doubt the ammo recoil is enough to cycle it successfully. Maybe as the hammer spring relaxes in time, it will cycle easier.

I love to tinker so those are no biggie for me but some might find them a total turn off.

Just sharing my experience which may not be the norm.

Thanks Poink88 for your reply.

Today (5-1-10) I was lucky to find a Buck Mark "Standard URX" at one of the big "ranch stores" here in town.

The Gun is amazing.... I am very happy with it (trigger, grip, looks Etc) I highly recommend it.

My guns manufacture date is March 17 2010

Hi dondavis3
Thanks for posting pics of your Buck Mark..... I sure wish mine had the fiber-optic front sight.....I would like to change it but I am sure my front sights screw is "lock-tight" to the barrel.... it also "looks" like it is glued down??

@ manta Edit.

@ manta

I don't understand what you saying?

I bought my front sight at a gun store & installed it myself.

I tought you where talking about the pistols availability my mistake. Now that we are on the subject my rear sight has come lose is there a easy way to tighten it i think its kept in place with a roll pin.

I'm on my second Buck Mark Camper, and both have been the way you describe. It is a little hard to rack the slide. As you note, it has to cock the hammer, which is a bit stiff. But it doesn't interfere with the gun's function. I'd be cautious modifying the gun to make it rack easier. You might interfere with the gun's timing.

I bought one new years ago at a gun show for $209. I did see one this past Thursday at one of our local gun stores where I live. They are wonderful guns for plinking or .22 handgun target shooting. Balance is excellent and the feel is superb, with a great trigger.
