most complicated and simplest autoloaders

as a mechanism, the luger has to take the cake for complicated, even though the field strip isn't bad, but talk about over engineered/toleranced. Beats me how they mass produced them in 1909....

As far as simple, pretty hard to get simpler then glock or xd.......

Ruger Mk 1/2/3 are all a #####, but so much fun to shoot.....

I find the Steyr GB to be over-engineered (in a positive way).
But a fine handgun:rockOn:

And 34 less parts than a Beretta 92F... Thankfully they are engineered so well as there have been no spare parts available for the last 15 years or so. None of the two out of the three that I shoot has ever had a malfunction (third is NIB)...
 
Beretta is the easiest gun to filed strip...I took it it apart half way to replace black controls and found it VERY easy to do.

I would say Steyr M is the easiest to detail strip. it's also about as easy to field strip as 92FS.
 
My copy of "Jane's Guns Recognition Guide" says this about the Finnish Lahti L-35: "DO NOT attempt to dismantle without expert guidance and a full toolkit." Never having seen a Lahti I can't vouch if this is accurate or not--has anyone ever handled one?
 
Beretta is the simplest to field strip. much easier than a Glock, XD, 1911, Sig, etc etc etc. in fact so simple it was made fun of by the makers of Lethal Weapon, with Jet Li. Causing enough of a stir that Beretta had to make a new, harder to activate, unit, for paranoid PD's, until they could be shown that the movie move was actually fake.
 
If we're talking about field stripping down to sub assemblies for cleaning, I really don't have much of a problem with my Ruger 22/45 mkIII. It's my first autoloader, so I really can't compare it to anything else (yet). Yes, there is definately a sequence to follow, but I can have mine back together in about 1 minute. If we're talking about ripping it to every single nut, bolt and screw, then I can't say since i haven't done this yet.
Now you guys have me wanting to find somebody with a 1911 to rip apart to see how much easier it is.... my 2 cents.
 
Why are you all talking about FIELD STRIPPING?

I thought the thread is about DETAIL STRIPPING a pistol, and how complicated the entire gun is (how many small parts it has in total, and the level of difficulty in disassembling and re-assembling).

I think single action pistols (1911 and TT-33) are more simple and easier to detail strip to single parts than modern double action pistols. But I have never tried a Glock yet......
