Easy disassemble .22 pistol?

Thanks for the thoughts, folks. I'm not saying I agree with my friend, but will advise him of your suggestions.

In the mean time, I'll keep trying to figure out my MkIII 22/45, which is way more convoluted than my old MkII used to be! I get it apart every time with no problem, but end up needing the manual for reassembly half the time(!).

And on a personal opinion note, I just DON'T UNDERSTAND those who suggest a .22 either never, or rarely, needs cleaning? You are dealing with a semi-auitomatic firearm that uses relatively low powered ammunition, in blow back (mostly), which spews unburned powder flakes and projectile wax all over itself... I would suggest that a semi .22 needs MORE cleaning than a centrefire pistol.

To each their own - I hate stoppages!

(1) Tongue was firmly planted "in-cheek"...:cheers:

(2) Semi's do require cleaning, in theory....;)
 
well, there's cleaning and then there's CLEANING- one is as simple as running a couple of patches through the bore, maybe a little oil- the other involves nitro powder solvent, a swab, mop, brush, oil and patches- one i do about every 500 rounds or so( i keep VERY accurate round counts) and the other about every 5-10 k- along with a detail strip- as for the cleaning , it DEPENDS on what ammo you buy- there's some mexican/russian stuff out there i would clean AFTER EVERY SHOT- you get to know by how dirty your patches are- and not all 22 bullets are lead- the copper washed ones are esp designed not to foul the bore as much as the straight lead ones
 
I find higher end target pistols, all of them, easy to take down and clean. Either that or CF conversion kits based on 1911 system, also very user friendly. I could never understand popularity of Rugers, rifles or pistols alike, must be something about expectation of quality from anything German.

rugers are made in the states- perhaps you have LUGERS AND RUGERS confused??????
 
I have a colt woodsman and a Neos U22. The Neos is by far the easiest 22 cal hangun I have had to take down. Take a look on Utube. There is a real good clip on how to do it. You'll be impressed.
