I love the way the Rugers shoot but they're not easy to disassemble and clean.

In all fairness, disassembly and cleaning isn't all that bad, it's the reassembly that SUCKS until you get the hang of it.

These sites have far better instructions than you get from Ruger:

Thanks for those links!

The worst part was needing to tap the bolt stop out and using a mallet to get the barrel assy off the frame. According to the manual, those should get better with time.
