I just replaced the cheap rear sight base on my Buck Mark with the TS Rail and love it. I also ordered a replacement fiber optic front sight in green, which I think will also be a big improvement.
I realize the TS barrels are far lighter than the factory barrels, but is there a big difference in accuracy? My browning barrel is crazy accurate, and I can't imagine something being THAT much better. Thanks for the input. Blake |
Like minds... 
I received my TS standard rail yesterday and installed it on my Buckmark Stainless Camper. It looks great, fits great and I like it! On it, I mounted a Bushnell TRS-25 mini-red dot that appears to be an Aimpint Micro knock-off. I can't wait to try it out. The pistol has exhibited excellent accuracy with open sights. My thoughts on the TS barrel parallel yours; are they $200.00+ more accurate, or just very cool looking and much lighter? For me, the light weight is not an advantage. Having shot NRA Conventional Pistol for decades, I know that the weight works to the shooters advantage, especially a weight-forward balance. Many speciallized competition pistols actually incorporate a provision for adding weights to the muzzel-end for that purpose. IMO, the Buckmark barely has enough muzzle-heavy balance as it is. |

Still nothing but two guys wondering the same thing? I guess I'll have to take that as a "not worth replacing factory barrel" answer. Buck Mark pistols don't have much aftermarket available for a reason: mainly, they don't need any. They just work really well out of the box. The only use I can really see for the Tac-Sol barrels is if you want a light weight threaded barrel for a suppressor. I do understand that they are pretty accurate, but have never tried one, myself. |

This. And, if you need something light to stuff in a holster and carry afield. |
