I like the weight of an all stainless pistol. I like the trigger on mine. I have the model with the threaded barrel and fiber optic sights. Have shot 1000 + trouble free rounds of many different types of .22lr. The only problem for me has been the safety is too easy to activate. I have not had issues with the screw loosening or issues with the extractor. I have Buckmarks and Mark II Rugers. The Victory compares well to the Buckmarks and the Rugers. I would agree with Wise A the Buckmark has a slight edge on trigger pull.
