Rimfire pistols remain a cornerstone of training, competition, and casual range work. When you want a handgun that blends approachable recoil, consistent accuracy, and proven engineering, choices narrow quickly. We look at designs that matter in real-world use — those that balance precision with simple, repeatable handling.
BROWNING BUCKMARK MICRO BULL is a .22 LR autoloading pistol featuring a steel 4″ bull barrel with a matte black finish, Ultragrip FX ambidextrous grips with black rubber over-molding, and an adjustable rear sight. The single-action, blowback-operated autoloading design speaks to simplicity and reliability, with controls that are easy to reach and use. Every Buck Mark frame begins as a billet of lightweight aluminum machined to exacting tolerances; barrels are produced from top-notch materials and include a hand-reamed chamber and recessed muzzle crown, lending the design both durability and accuracy. Several grip styles are available to suit different hands and preferences.
Design and construction that serve accuracy first
The 4″ steel bull barrel is the centerpiece of the Micro Bull’s design. A heavier barrel profile reduces muzzle flip and stabilizes the sight picture during follow-up shots. The matte black finish resists glare on bright days while keeping the look understated and practical. Browning’s use of a billet aluminum frame ensures consistent fit and long-term dimensional stability — that precise fit is the foundation for repeatable accuracy shot after shot.
Barrel work and chamber quality
Barrels arrive with a hand-reamed chamber and a recessed crown. Those two details matter: a hand-reamed chamber improves case alignment, and a recessed crown protects the muzzle contour, preserving accuracy potential over time. In practical terms, that means tighter groups and less worry about sudden changes in point of impact after heavy use.
Controls and ergonomics for real shooters
Where the Micro Bull stands out is how it blends competition-focused features with everyday friendliness. The Ultragrip FX ambidextrous grips with black rubber over-molding provide secure purchase without being aggressive — excellent for extended dry-fire sessions and long range practice. The adjustable rear sight lets you fine-tune the sight picture for the specific .22 ammunition you prefer, and the single-action blowback system keeps the internal mechanics straightforward for faster maintenance and predictable cycling.

The .22 LR advantage: training, cost, and performance
.22 LR is a small-caliber workhorse. Its low recoil makes follow-up shots and fundamentals easier to teach and practice, while its affordable cost per round allows for extended sessions that would be prohibitive with centerfire ammunition. For new shooters and seasoned competitors alike, a .22 pistol like the Micro Bull is ideal for developing sight alignment, trigger control, and cadence without fighting muzzle energy.
Applications on the range
Use the Micro Bull for precision plinking, formal rimfire competition, and skill maintenance. The heavier bull barrel promotes steadier aim for slow-fire strings, and the adjustable rear sight helps tailor groups when you switch ammo brands or bullet weights. Its balance of weight and 4″ length also makes it comfortable for standing slow-fire and timed strings alike.
Reliability and maintenance
Blowback-operated, single-action autoloading designs are valued for their simplicity. Fewer parts and straightforward cycling mean fewer surprises at the range. Routine maintenance is easy: the hand-reamed chamber and quality barrel work reduce fouling issues, and the aluminum frame resists corrosion and wear when cared for properly. For daily shooters, this is a platform that rewards regular cleaning and basic lubrication.
Who should consider the Micro Bull?
If you’re a trainer, competitive rimfire shooter, or someone who wants a durable, accurate plinker that’s fun and economical to shoot, this pistol fits the bill. Browning’s Buck Mark family has a long history — the brand reputation stems from decades of engineering and a catalog of designs that serve hunters, competitors, and range enthusiasts. The Micro Bull brings those strengths into a compact, precise package.
Pricing and value
At $349.99, the Micro Bull delivers features typically associated with higher-priced rimfire pistols: a quality steel bull barrel, precision-machined billet frame, and comfortable, ambidextrous grips. For shooters investing in a dedicated training tool or a competition-ready rimfire pistol, it represents strong value and long-term utility.
We recommend handling the Micro Bull at a range if possible to confirm grip feel and sight picture. Test a few brands of .22 LR ammunition through the pistol to find the load that groups best with your shooting style. With basic care and the right ammo, the design’s hand-reamed chamber, recessed crown, and solid barrel work will reward owners with consistent performance.
