Sigarms Trailside or Browning BuckMark?

David C.
I'm getting back into .22 plinking (love my Browning BL-22, btw) and small game hunting. I want to buy the best .22 semi-auto pistol for the money in the $200-$400 range( closer to $200 if possible[:)]).
From what I've read so far, the Trailside and the Buck Mark are the best candidates.
What are the pros and cons to each? Any problems I should know about? What is your recommendation?
Thank you for your replies,



David

    If you are going to put a scope or red dot sight on it go with the Buckmark. The Trailside requires removing them during disassembly for cleaning. Otherwise they are both good solid 22s for the money.

    I love my buckmark and have all kinds of fun with it at a reasonable cost. I have the Beretta NEOS also and it's kinda cool but heavy, gonna buy the attachments for it to make it a rifle.

    Held both in my hands today. Leaning towards the Buck Mark. It feels heavier and more solid than the Sig, which feels fragile even though it is well balanced. The Browning is also $100 or more cheaper. Still deciding, but its looking like the Browning.
    Thanks for your input, fellas.

    I own a Browning Buckmark Bullseye pistol with a red dot scope. I couldn't ask for a better .22 pistol for general plinking and hunting.. A great gun. Accurate and fun to shoot, it just feels right.

    Buckmark was my choice and I have not been sorry. A lot of guys like the Ruger, but I do not. I also like my Neos a lot, but it is more a target pistol than a carry around plinking/hunting pistol. Have Fun!

    I looked at the Sig and the Ruger as well before I bought my Buckmark a couple of years ago. The Sig felt great in my hand but the Browning felt just as good and was a much better value. It is still my favorite gun for just having fun with. You will not be sorry you bought one.

    Thanks, fellas. I also held the Ruger yesterday. I know it has a great rep and has been around awhile, but it felt cheap and "clunky" in my hands. The grips stunk. The Sig felt like a preciscion instrument that I was afraid of dropping (I'm sure its not as fragile as it felt, it is a Sig after all) and the Browning felt...like a Browning. [:D]
