Hard to provide a good argument against either....... both well know to be excellent choices.
Handle both and see which one "talks" to you.
A Democracy is when two wolves and a lamb vote on the dinner menu. That is why this country was specifically not designed as a Democracy. We are a Constitutional Republic.

lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true
Mainstream news might be fun to watch

If you want to pack it around in a holster, I would recommend the lite Ruger Mark III. I have the Target model and it is too heavy to pack around on a regular belt.

I had a Buckmark and loved it, but the Ruger is great as well. All the advice above is good in my opinion. Hold both and one will speak to you.

Ford/Chevy. Had a Ruger, it was stolen. Buck Mark was on sale, replaced the Ruger with it. I prefer the Browning, probably just as many prefer Ruger. If you want to customize Ruger is the way to go.
Don’t roll those bloodshot eyes at me.

I have a ruger 22/45 Lite, more or less a mk3, and totally love it. But I second yours and others' thoughts that the buckmark is an excellent choice too but go Ruger as it validates me when others make the same choice.
I'm a dude who likes long barrels!

They both are great. There's a new Smith also, but I don't know much about it.

I have both and prefer the Buckmark. The ruger has a trigger that needs work before it measures up to the browning. The Buckmark has a sweet trigger right out of the box.

Remington's new 22 pistol might be worth a look.
Easy to take down or switch barrels. A newer, more modern design.

22/45 Here, They will all get filthy, but the 22/45 seems to run well. Used a Buckmark with TacSol barrel, but the tight chamber of the TacSol was problematic as it got dirty.
