G'day beenie,
Welcome aboard. Stainless Buckmarks can be found with a bit more looking but the Ruger is way more common, in all it's various Marks. Stainless is no different to blued in terms of wear/longevity and is easier to maintain which can be a benefit to the novice. The Rugers are a very good reliable and accurate pistol especially if you buy the bull barrel and can be greatly improved by after market kits such as the Volquartson when you are ready to take the next step up in accuracy. I would happily reccomend the Ruger, but do try and handle a couple regarding the "Luger" grip angle of the standard pistol vs the more "up and down" of the Ruger 22/45, Cheers
