I've settled on getting a Browning Buck Mark for a target plinker. But now the question is which one...
I like the looks of the Camper (and price!), but want fiber optic sights, which brings me to the Practical. For the ~$30 difference on Buds, is it worth just getting the Practical?
1. I am not into finger groove grips, but should I just roll with the URX grips of the Practical and not worry about it? I would love to hear any experiences with the grips, or in changing the grips.
2. The Camper has that cheap plastic rear sight base, which supposedly can be replaced for ~$30. Does the Practical have a metal base, or is it still plastic?
3. Are the Camper's front sights otherwise easy to replace with some FO sights?
4. Are there any other differences I should know about? Performance?
5. Budget is a concern, but are there other models I should consider?
6. Anyone have any experience sanding the gold off of the trigger? (I HATE gold)
7. Who else should I look to for a good price, in addition to Buds?
This is my big Four-O birthday present , so I hope to make the right choice and keep the pistol for the duration. Any other thoughts, insight, or suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks for the help!
