          Personally I never had a problem. People really made too much of a big deal out of it.the mallet is necessary only the first 2 or 3 times when it's new to separate the upper from the lower.

            I separated my mkii one time when I first got it just because. It can be a pita, but there really is never any reason to even do it outside of putting a new upper on it. I'll never take any of mine apart again unless it is for that reason.

            Makes sense. He's pretty moronic, so probably took it apart once and hasn't cleaned it again in a decade.

              Yeah, there is a little arm on the hammer (part 21 in that diagram) and it has to rest in a little recessed pocket in the mainspring (part 83). If its not lined up right the hammer wont work. The more you do it the easier it gets, you just need to watch and see whats going on when you are putting the mainspring back in, cant just slap it in there and hope it lines up.

              and like the other guy said, you really only need a mallet to separate the upper from the lower which is only really necessary if you are putting a new barreled upper on it, it isn't necessary for cleaning. I had one I had to beat apart and the other came apart easily, so it could be a gun to gun thing or it could be how many times it has been disassembled, not sure.

          They don't require a mechanical engineering degree and you probably won't have to send your disassembled gun back to Ruger to have them put it back together, but they're still much more awkward to take apart for cleaning than any gun reasonably should be.

      I like mine a lot, probably my favorite 22 pistol I’ve shot and I’ve got to try a decent spread. The new disassembly method is super nice, I just wish Ruger had taken advantage of it and serialized the frame so you could just buy and swap out the top like an upper on an AR.

    Good or bad idea to carry a 10/22 with a folding stock in my vehicle for emergencies? I don't know why I'd ever need it but I got a ton of hidden compartments in my vehicle I can think of utilizing so it wouldn't just be rolling around in the open for someone to see.

      Maybe if it's integrally suppressed, but a coach gun with a pair of slugs on your belt is legal in all 50 states and will solve any problem you point it at much more reliably than a .22 will.

    Since this is the .22 thread, I was gonna buy a 10/22a few weeks ago and ran into one with a scope for $300. Decided to wait until today and turns out it sold two weeks ago. That place said they'd have two more coming in soon so I decided to check the other 3 local stores near me. All of them were selling 10/22 for prices between $570-600. Feels bad, man

    I got a mkii government target for $225. Its is by far my favorite handgun and a definite contender for favorite firearm overall. I can see why people complain about the takedown. It's nowhere near as simple as say, a glock, but really isn't so bad once you know how to do it. That said, I find great pleasure in disassembling and cleaning firearms, so my opinion is likely biased.

      my opinions on the ones I have owned and sold

      >mkIII 22/45
      quiet host, dumb design (lower/upper fit always had some wobble). Boring. Assembly is easy if you just follow the damn instructions.
      >Taurus TX22
      felt cheap, didn't like the modern design but lack of ambi controls, port pop and optic got dirty fast (had the comp version). Sends HV rounds supersonic.
      >SW 422
      Cool factor, trigger is awful (same spring as the mag release), can't shoot as a lefty without my fingers getting pelted with brass/sparks so had to sell it.
      >GSG 1911
      somehow super reliable, but pot metal construction. Peening everywhere, slide was getting chewed up, inaccurate. even quieter host than the mkIII. Could be a big winner but it's just poor material choice, the machining is great.
      >KelTec p17
      junk, sold after one shooting trip. Can't fully strip for cleaning without taking out like 15 machine screws.
      >Pardini SP
      fancy and fun to shoot but free pistol is more fun. Occasional light primer strikes with cheap ammo

      Only one I have at the moment is a P322. It's ambi, threaded, reliable, takes a dot. Biggest downside is the barrel threaded adapter that has to come off to remove the slide for cleaning.
