Description

With a matte blued steel barrel, alloy frame, and factory-threaded muzzle (1/2×28), this semi-auto delivers consistent accuracy straight from the box.

Key Features
- Factory-Threaded Barrel (4.4 in) – Ready for suppressors or compensators right out of the box, saving you the hassle and cost of aftermarket threading.
- Pro-Target Adjustable Rear Sight & Truglo Fiber-Optic Front – Dial in elevation and windage for match-grade accuracy; the fiber-optic front grabs light for fast acquisition.
- Gray/Black G10 Grips – Textured laminate grips lock your hand in place, reducing fatigue and improving follow-up shot control.
- Matte Blued Barrel & Alloy Frame – The matte finish cuts glare and resists corrosion, while the alloy frame keeps the weight manageable for all-day shooting.
Who It’s For
This pistol is for the rimfire shooter who wants a dedicated host for a suppressor without sending a barrel out for threading. It’s also a strong choice for bullseye or steel challenge competitors who need a reliable, accurate .22 with adjustable sights. If you’re a plinker who appreciates premium fit and finish, you’ll like the Contour Pro’s build quality.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Threaded barrel is standard—no extra gunsmithing needed.
- Pro: Adjustable rear sight and fiber-optic front are excellent for precision work.
- Pro: G10 grips provide a secure hold even with sweaty or gloved hands.
- Con: The magazine release is not ambidextrous—left-handed shooters may need to adjust their grip.

The Ruger Mark IV Tactical offers a similar feature set with a one-button takedown, but the Browning’s G10 grips and Pro-Target sight give it an edge for shooters who prioritize grip texture and sight adjustability. The M&P 22 Compact is lighter and cheaper, but its polymer frame and shorter barrel make it less suited for precision work.
FAQ
What is the barrel twist rate on the Browning Buck Mark Contour Pro?
Per Browning specs, the barrel has a 1:16-inch twist rate, optimized for standard-velocity and high-velocity .22 LR ammunition.
Does this pistol come with a threaded barrel adapter or suppressor?
No—the barrel is threaded 1/2×28, but the pistol does not include an adapter or suppressor. You’ll need to purchase those separately.
Is the Browning Buck Mark Contour Pro compatible with aftermarket grips?
Yes—the grip frame uses standard Buck Mark grip panels, so you can swap in aftermarket options from VZ Grips, Hogue, or others.
Can I mount a red dot sight on this pistol?
Not directly—the Contour Pro comes with iron sights only. You would need a Picatinny rail adapter or a gunsmith-machined mount for a red dot.
