I was on the 1911 kick but have changed my mind since they are expensive to shoot and since I am really just looking for a plinking gun. Now here are the choices: Ruger Mark iii stainless steel hunter w/ 7" barrel $480 or Browning Buckmark Hunter w/ parkerized finish 7" barrel $380? They both come w/ rails to mount a scope on and I think the buckmark comes w/ only one mag which i can pick up for around $24 which is still less expensive then buying the ruger. I also have heard that taking down the ruger is a royal pain in the ass. One thing about the browning is that i heard that the takedown screws get loose when you are shooting. Do you need to take both guns apart to clean after shooting? also do they both feed most .22 ammo or are they specific on the brand/type of ammo that they like?
