Then they just made it perfect. When can I go buy at least two?
22LR is hard to find around here, but when I visited in Florida recently, I found quite a bit at a Cabellas and got a couple thousand rounds.
It’s about time.
Mine’s a rubick’s cube from hell.
Re: the Hi-Power - It was my first, and second, 9mm. Fits my hand, short trigger reach, all that. Points beautifully for me. My younger one removed the magazine safety, though I did not mind the slightly graunchy trigger as it was. Feels like a perp groveling on the ground before the BOOM.
I have slightly stubby fingers and smallish hands, so I need the single action and slender grip. I’d love to love my CZ 75 but it is just a tad too big.
I still need another Hi-Power. As they say, when you find something you like, get a pair and a spare. If I hit the lottery, I’ll visit Cylinder & Slide and buy a bunch of customized ones from them.
I disassembled a man’s Ruger .22 pistol one night at the plant.
Took about three seconds. It took him hours to figure how to put it back together.
I would take it, turn my back on him and have it together quick! Show it to him, then turn around and have it disassembled just as fast.
He cussed me all night long.
Browning Hi-Power, so easy to disassemble and reassemble!
Browning Challenger, Now there is a problem! I don’t disassemble, I lock open, hang muzzle down over a trash can and spray WD-40 all over it!
Smith and Wesson model 41 is a gem at $1,000 plus.
The MK I and II were the only firearms I had to read the takedown and assembly instructions more than once.
Stripping a Rugar .22 for cleaning has always been a bear; hopefully this will make it a good deal easier.
same here, expensive when you find it too.
Not familiar with the mechanism, though I did look at them with envy when I was a teenager. At a local store in a mall! Woolworths, I believe. I regret not getting a nice Colt .22 when they were still readily available.
I think the worst were some Hi Standard .22 pistols. If you did something wrong, there was no taking it apart without destroying some parts. Gun enthisiasts would know.
My dad bought a Colt Woodsman when he got out of the Navy in 48. That has been a great trouble free gun.
***I lucked out and got two Hi-Powers back when they were $400.***
Got my first back during the riots of 1968. $79.00. Sold it years later to keep from starving.
Still have another Belgian Browning (St Louis) from the same year.In such good condition I rarely shoot it as it is too valuable. Most comfortable pistol ever made! Next is the 1911 Browning designed Colt.
Quality parts.

I replaced the trigger group with Volquartzen parts on my 22/45 hence my perplexity over the difficulty of disassembly of this particular Ruger pistol. It was super tight but I was told if I did it a few times it would become easier.
22/45,,,
Pure misery.
They would have to come up with this AFTER I bought the MKIII.
CZ-52 is about as easy to strip down and work on as anything..........
