I think "best" is subjective. I settled on the Buckmark over the Ruger. It fit my hand better, and I don't really mind the cleaning regimen. Plus I'd probably have to spend another $50-$75 dollars on the Ruger trigger to get to the level of what the Buckmark brings out of the box.
Having to re zero the Buckmark after cleaning is just too much trouble.
I’ll give you a Buckmark trigger tip. You’ll find videos on trigger jobs. You turn the trigger spring over. Your pull is about 2lbs. It really works if you want a hair trigger.
Completely agree, I have had my Buckmark for 10 years, probably 30,000 rounds through it and it is still my favorite pistol.
