I have a Browning Buckmark I bought off a member here awhile back: a good shooter.
I've been eyeing this Hunter online at a LGS that I used to frequent before I moved to Wanamaker.
It has the longer 7.25" barrel, but the $400 price put me off since I could buy a new one for $430.
I bought it since I was able to be in the store today (to look at a SW 686), and I liked the proflile/storyline behind the gun and really wanted to try out the longer barrel to see if would outshoot my original Browning, or the Mark 4 or the Smith Victory.
I made a $300 offer, and got it for $325, which I expected. It had a scratch on it near the end of the barrel, but so does my other one.
With the Weaver rail, gold trigger (nice color contrast) and barrel length, even if it doesn't outshoot my other one, I'll keep it anyway, just for the weight.
Maybe the range tomorrow to compare the two.
It would be hilarious if the shorter barrel shot better in my imperfect hands.
I believe this to be a better buy than when I was at ZR Tactical first today and held a Browning Black Label 1911 in my hand (2nd time, but different one), but I just can't get over how small they feel in my hand (they are 85% size).
This was my reward for not buying it ($450), and/or the Smith 686 at the other place.
