Yes.

There are more steps for the AR then there are steps for my .40 cal pistol.

I found the Ruger sr-22 to be the most frustrating field strip of the guns I have.

Your .40 cal pistol is virtually worthless at 100 yards.

I’ve found the FN PS-90 to be excellent in the ease of breakdown and cleaning.

Do you mean a Ruger .22 pistol, like my old Standard Model?

The trick to reassembly is to flip it upside down when remounting the grip to the receiver. The little do-hicky deal that has to fit into the spring has to wiggle back and hang free to find the spring hole. I kid you not. Once you get the hang of the upside-down do-hicky hang, it’s a snap. Really.

I can say from personal experience that the AK is the simplest field strip/cleaning in the world....there is literally nothing to it.

I rarely even field strip to clean mine. Just swab out the inside barrel, rub a little oil on the outside, blow some cleaner in the works and done.

I consider what you call a field strip to be a full monty if you will.

Try taking apart a Ruger Mk III .22 target pistol. Incredible. Ruger builds heavy duty stuff, but otherwise their engineers are idiots.
