Browning recently introduced the new Buck Mark Contour URX 5.5-inch, which expands the well-respected line of pistols from Browning. The new handgun features a full-length Picatinny top rail for optics mounting, and a great trigger. It also comes with a finely adjustable rear sight and slightly exaggerated cocking ears to make the process of racking a round easy. 

The pistol points like a 1911, and features a magazine release in the 1911-style position, as well as slide stop and manual safety on the lefthand side. With a crisp trigger and excellent sighting system, the new Contour URX is a great shooting pistol with impressive accuracy. MSRP on the Buckmark Contour URX is $599.
