Key Features
- Contoured 5.5-inch barrel — Why it matters: The lightweight contour keeps the pistol balanced for off-hand shooting while still delivering the velocity and accuracy you need for plinking or small-game hunting.
- Adjustable Pro-Target sights — Why it matters: You get windage and elevation adjustments without tools, so zeroing for different ammo or distances is quick and repeatable.
- Full-length optics rail — Why it matters: Mount a red dot, mini reflex, or even a laser without losing the rear sight — the rail runs the full length of the receiver for maximum mounting options.
- Hand-reamed chamber and target-crowned barrel — Why it matters: Consistent chamber dimensions and a precise crown reduce bullet deformation and improve shot-to-shot consistency, which matters when you’re chasing tight groups.
- Crisp single-action trigger — Why it matters: A clean break with minimal creep helps you place each shot exactly where you want it, especially during rapid follow-ups.
Who It’s For
The Buck Mark Contour URX fits shooters who want a reliable rimfire pistol for target practice, plinking, or introducing new shooters to handguns. It works for lefties and righties alike — the ambidextrous safety and magazine release are standard. If you’re a new gun owner looking for a .22 that won’t frustrate you with jams or poor accuracy, this is a solid pick.
Pros / Cons
- Pro: Optics-ready without needing an adapter plate — the rail is integrated into the frame.
- Pro: Barrel is threaded (1/2×28) for suppressors if you ever want to go quiet.
- Con: The grip angle is steeper than some shooters prefer — it can feel a bit forward for those used to 1911-style grips. Plan to swap grips if it doesn’t fit your hand.

FAQ
What optics fit the full-length rail on the Browning Buck Mark Contour URX?
Any optic with a standard Picatinny or Weaver base will mount directly. For red dots with a Docter/Noblex footprint, you’ll need an adapter plate (not included). Most shooters mount a Vortex Venom or Holosun 407K using a small adapter.
Is the Buck Mark Contour URX accurate out of the box?
Yes. The hand-reamed chamber and target-crowned barrel give it better precision than many .22 pistols at this price point. Expect 1–1.5 inch groups at 25 yards with quality ammo like CCI Standard Velocity.
Can I use this for concealed carry?
It’s possible but not ideal. The Buck Mark is a full-size target pistol — 34 ounces and a 5.5-inch barrel make it heavy and long for IWB carry. It’s better suited for range bags, plinking packs, or nightstand duty.
What magazines are compatible with this pistol?
All Browning Buck Mark 10-round magazines work — the Contour URX ships with one. Aftermarket options from Mec-Gar are also reliable. Do not use 15-round Ruger Mk IV magazines; they won’t fit.
