Actually, once you've done it a few times it's not all that big a deal. Certainly easier than field stripping and reassembling a Ruger .22 pistol. Never mind the MkIII version!
Not relevant to field stripping (unless you clean using a bore snake), but kinda cool and little published: Did you know that the slide is easily locked to the rear?
Or that the magazine safety is easily disabled?
But I figured we would never see a revival of the design due to manufacturing costs. Happy to be proven wrong!
