Here’s the thing—when it comes to building fundamental skills or enjoying a low-recoil day at the range, the platform you choose matters. The BUCK MARK MEDALLION’s 7.25-inch bull barrel isn’t just for looks; it adds weight forward to stabilize your aim and houses a precision-rifled bore that consistently delivers tight groups.

At 41 ounces, it has a substantial, steady feel in the hand without being cumbersome. This pistol is compatible with a wide range of .22 LR ammunition and aftermarket accessories, including popular optics mounts designed for the Buck Mark rail system, allowing for easy red dot installation. FFL transfer required for firearm purchases, and this model is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
Who This Pistol Is For
This is for the shooter who values accuracy above all in a .22 platform. It’s ideal for the competitive rimfire target shooter looking for an edge in bullseye matches. It’s for the small game hunter who needs a reliable, precise tool for clean harvests. It’s also an excellent training pistol for new shooters to learn proper technique, or for seasoned veterans to maintain core skills without the cost and recoil of centerfire rounds. The $746.99 price point reflects its position as a refined, feature-rich firearm built for serious use, not a basic plinker.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Exceptional out-of-the-box accuracy. High-quality fit and finish with attractive wood grips. Excellent target sights. The proven Buck Mark action is known for reliability with quality ammunition. A superb tool for teaching marksmanship fundamentals.
Cons: The single-action design requires manually cocking the hammer for the first shot. Some find field-stripping for cleaning more involved than other .22 pistols. The premium features come at a premium cost compared to entry-level .22 handguns.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Buck Mark Medallion a good pistol for a first-time gun owner?
A: Yes, with a key consideration. Its low recoil, excellent accuracy, and good ergonomics make it fantastic for learning. However, the single-action operation (requiring you to manually cock the hammer) is an extra step to learn compared to a simple double-action or striker-fired pistol. Under supervision, it’s an outstanding trainer.
Q: What type of ammunition does it run best with?
A: The Buck Mark series typically runs best with standard or high-velocity copper-plated round nose .22 LR ammunition. It’s less tolerant of subsonic or unplated lead round nose ammo, which can lead to more frequent cycling issues. Start with quality brands like CCI Mini-Mag or Federal AutoMatch for reliable function.
Q: Can I mount a red dot optic on this model?
A: Absolutely. The receiver is drilled and tapped, and it comes with a Picatinny rail section in the box. This allows you to mount a wide variety of red dot sights—popular micro models from brands like Vortex, Holosun, and Burris are commonly used—transforming it into an even more precise aiming system for target work.
