How much time does it require to take it apart and put it back together?
Is it broken?
I call these the “urban 22 lites”, because they shoot at 1200 FPS, and they come equipped with a LEGAL sound suppressor. You can shoot these in the most uptight neighborhood and still kill those pesky raccoons.

gamo whisper .177 cal and .22 cal pellet guns.
Because (removes hat, stands at attention) John Moses Browning didn't invent it.

Bill Ruger was a firearms genius, but p!$$ on the take down design for the Mk I and Mk II series pistols. The Pope would break down in a swearing fit if he had to put one of those back together.
I’ve learned the hard way not to disassemble any firearm any further an the manual recommends. This is especially true of Ruger .22s. The engineering on them is superb, but not for anyone who isn’t a trained gunsmith.
Strictly my opinion, your mileage may vary.
I had my first one around 1974. It was just as hard to reassemble as they say. I have owned probably a dozen since then and they haven’t improved the field stripping a bit.
Interestingly, that first 4” barrel one was the most accurate of the bunch and that includes several target models. None have been inaccurate tho.
Learn the “trick”
Or, there is an aftermarket thing where you remove a hex screw and the gun comes apart without having to use the “trick”
I don’t bother stripping my “std” model just blast it out with scrubber upside down so the dirt runs out the top.

I have a 22/45 and it is a fun gun to shoot. I also have a S&W mod41 it is the best shooting .22 pistol I ever shot bar none.
a minute or so, after you practice twenty times or so! LOL

Respect is earned, not given. They earned mine. They were some really, really good enginners.

Or even engineers. Sheesh.

A bent paperclip can help.
Unlike a 1911 which one can disassemble and reassemble with increasing ease and speed, Mk II and 22/45’s don’t get any easier the upteenth time you try.
Each one is an exercise in luck.
Good thing they really don’t need to be disassembled to be cleaned well enough to function.
If you ever find a ‘Unique’ Model 52 22 LR, made in France, buy it! It is based on the Browning Hi-Power system and is one really fine little pistol. I recently acquired a 3 inch barrel model. What a fine little pistol it is!
When I started college, I couldn’t even SPELL enginner. Now I is one!
