I made the mistake thinking this sight would fit my Browning Buckmark pistol with acceptable quality. Wrong on both counts. Matched with the Browning Buckmark pistol, the sight is clearly oversized and balance of the pistol turned to garbage. The sight reticule is five fracken' degrees out of vertical. The manufactuer did not provide basic quality control to the product. Make no mistake, Browning Arms makes some of the finest weapons in the world. I have no doubt that the directors and managers of Browning Arms would either correct the deficiencies in the Browning Buckmark sight or discontinue production if they knew how bad the product is. I suspect marketing and procurement took over this turkey. Browning Arms has shamed itself with this cheap product unfit for its namesake. Browning Arms did offer to repair the sight, but I refused to pay the shipping. I have since purchased new sights at similar cost that work with quality construction, low weight and size that better matches the Browning Buckmark pistol. The Browning Arms company did itself no favors by marketing this POS.
