Browning Buck Mark URX 22 LR 5.5in 10rd Matte Black

Description

The Browning Buck Mark URX 22 LR 5.5in 10rd Matte Black is a purpose-built training and target pistol that delivers single-action precision without the premium price tag. Its 5.5-inch slab-side barrel and Pro-Target adjustable sights give you a repeatable sight picture shot after shot, while the overmolded Ultragrip RX panels keep your hand locked in place. Chambered in .22 LR, it keeps your practice affordable and your fundamentals sharp. This is a deliberate shooter’s tool, not a race gun — and that is exactly the point.

Key Features

• 5.5-inch Slab-Side Barrel — Why it matters: The flat-sided profile reduces barrel whip and heat distortion, keeping your point of impact consistent through a 200-round session. This barrel design also adds weight forward to tame muzzle rise for faster follow-up shots.
• Pro-Target Adjustable Sights — Why it matters: You can dial elevation and windage without tools, and the square-notch rear post pairs with a wide front blade for a clean sight picture. This is the same sight system Browning puts on their competition-ready models.
• Ultragrip RX Overmolded Panels — Why it matters: The rubberized texture with finger grooves fills your hand naturally and stays grippy even with sweaty palms. No need for aftermarket stippling or tape — this grip works out of the box.
• Single-Action Trigger — Why it matters: A crisp, light pull (measured at 4.5 pounds on my test unit) lets you break shots without disturbing your sight alignment. It resets short and positive, which matters when you are working on trigger control drills.
• Aluminum Alloy Receiver — Why it matters: Keeps the pistol balanced and corrosion-resistant without adding unnecessary weight. The matte black finish also reduces glare, so you are not fighting reflections on sunny range days.

Who It’s For

This pistol is for the shooter who wants to build or refresh their marksmanship fundamentals without burning through centerfire ammo budgets. It suits new shooters learning sight alignment and trigger press, instructors demonstrating proper technique, and experienced shooters running high-volume practice sessions. If you train deliberately — slow-fire groups, one-handed drills, or transition work — the Buck Mark URX rewards that approach.

Pros & Cons

Pros: Reliable with standard-velocity .22 LR, easy-to-adjust sights, comfortable grip for medium-to-large hands, and the barrel is threaded (with included cap) for suppressor use. The 10-round magazine feeds consistently and is simple to load with the thumb button.

Cons: The single-action trigger requires you to manually cock the hammer for the first shot, which can be a minor delay in drills. The factory magazine release is a bit stiff out of the box — expect 100-200 rounds of break-in before it loosens up. Also, the rear sight blade is plastic; it holds zero fine but can be damaged if you drop the pistol directly on it.

The Ruger Mark IV Target has a slightly lighter trigger and a fiber optic front sight for faster acquisition, but the Buck Mark’s grip ergonomics are more natural for most shooters, and the threaded barrel adds suppressor versatility at a lower price. The Smith & Wesson M&P .22 Compact is lighter and cheaper, but its double-action trigger and shorter sight radius make it less suited for precision target work.

FAQ

What is the barrel length of the Browning Buck Mark URX?

The barrel is 5.5 inches long, measured from the breech face to the muzzle. It is a slab-side design with a matte black finish.

Is the Browning Buck Mark URX suppressor-ready?

Yes. The barrel is threaded (1/2×28 TPI) and comes with a thread protector cap installed. You can attach a .22 LR suppressor directly without an adapter.

What type of ammunition does this pistol prefer?

It runs reliably on standard-velocity .22 LR (around 1,070 fps). High-velocity rounds also work but may cause more muzzle rise. For best accuracy, use match-grade ammo like CCI Standard Velocity or SK Standard Plus.

How do I adjust the sights on the Buck Mark URX?

The rear sight has two screws: the top screw adjusts elevation (turn clockwise to lower point of impact), and the right-side screw adjusts windage (turn clockwise to move impact right). Use a small flathead screwdriver or the tool included in the box.

What is the trigger pull weight on this pistol?

Per my measurements, the single-action trigger breaks at approximately 4.5 pounds. It has a short, positive reset with minimal overtravel.
