I am stuck between these two pistols for use as a suppressor host as well as general shooting. I am looking for thoughts on reliability, dependability, and general thoughts.

Re: Ruger 22/45 threaded or Browning Buckmark Whisper?
I have a Tactical Solutions Buckmark, friend has a 22/45 Lite. I can say that the 22/45 Lite for less than half of the money I have in my Buckmark is a better value. However, the Buckmark has a better trigger out of the box and at least in this small sample size the Buckmark is more reliable.

FWIW, I've been very happy with my 22/45, but haven't shot a buckmark.

ive used both the buckmark and ruger. i dont think theres much difference. i like the feel of the ruger so thats what i went with. cant go wrong here, youre deciding between nice and nice.

Have a MkII and Buckmark----it is personal preference IMHO---I am parrtial to the Ruger based solely on aftermarket parts availability

I like the feel of the ruger better, buck mark does have a better trigger. I would go with the ruger but both are great guns

Having owned both, I like the Rugers better due mostly to the aftermarket. Lot of folks believe the Ruger is slightly quietier due to the ejection port opening. With all that said they are both great suppressor platforms.
I would stay away from TacSol as you will have a steel bolt battering a aluminum breachface. Rugers 22/45 Lite is a better design. The Ruger design has a steel breachface.

Having owned both sorta- I have an MKII that I bought knowing it had issues and still can't get it to run right after much tinkering. Buckmark has run perfect from day one and a flip of the sear spring makes the trigger amazing.

I like the 22/45 better... be advised that I think they are going to make the 22/45 lite threaded in all black pretty soon.

Get the 22/45. It makes Baby You-know-who in SFO weep.
