I've only had it out to shoot twice now. The owners manual says disassembly for a thorough cleaning is only required every 3000 rounds. I just swab out the bore and spray her down good with CLP.
Reliability has been 100%. No problems of any kind.

Hi there Springman.
I hope Tom is wrong, but that is what the PC Nazis are pushing for.
Arms for thee, but not for me.
I learn something new everyday. ☺
The first gun I bought my wife is a K frame six-shooter. She’s very good with it.
Bought her a Ruger LC9 recently but she’s struggling with it. (Racking the slide and being left-handed.)
The darn things are simple and built like tanks.
I should have grabbed one when they were $145 new.
The Sterling 9mm carbine is also a hoot, but has no way of mounting optics.
That and the long DA trigger pull. That is what I have trouble with.
Go Magpul ! If Colorado screws its law abiding citizens Magpul said on the show today they would go to TX or UT ....
Welcome to Texas if they do have to move their workforce down here.
If you get an NRA lifetime membership, will they leave you of the spamathon beggar list?

How easy/hard is field stripping a Hi Point 9mm carbine?
New in oil (not grease) Russian Nosin M44 rifles are at Wideners for $219. Really tempted to pick one up while still available, especially since these have never been issued to troops.
I took my Hi-Point 995 out of the stock it was in (a CX Storm copy) and put it in one of the original Planet of the Apes stocks. I love it in the retro look. Have you tried the latest 15 round mags? I’m wondering if they function better than the ones available a few years ago. I bought two and had to dremel the daylights out of them to make them work reliably.
Field stripping looks like a pain in the ***.
Screwdriver, crescent wranch, Allen wranch and some other tool.
But the darn thing works like a hose for thousands of rounds
Never issued? Dang! Jump on it if you can!
Those are pretty hard to find for the last 2 years.
Be warned, It kicks like a mule on crack.
Get a shoulder pad or limb saver.
Still a value at $329. (Cabelas price).
Wideners is just a few miles away. The owners do the FFL routine so I can buy from wholesaler at their prices. The last gun show, the M44s I saw were bringing 400 plus and were not ‘unissued’. 7.62 x 54 corrosive is back in stoxck too, in spam cans at $99 /440.
That is most likely the truth.
If you are running 24/7 shifts and you still can’t man all the lines, the .22 is probably first to go by the wayside.
Good observation.
Sounds very good here; what are you hearing? Background noise?
I use a nice thick limbsaver with my 91/30 even from the bench.
