Ruger 22/45

[Sir Henry]

Ive had problems putting the 22/45 together and finally figured it out after watching a 60 second video. I just took it apart and put it together about a dozen times. I can’t believe how simple it is.

Tilt the gun forward until the hammer drops in place?

Yes and help it with your fingers. Then insert the pin and squeeze the trigger. I practiced it a few more times and can put it together in 15 seconds.

It's been 23ish years since i've owned one. Superb guns

Its my most accurate pistol. I love shooting it and hated cleaning it till now.

I too am a fan of Ruger MK II pistols and still have three. Although I can disassemble, clean and reassemble them (and do rso egularly), I still can't reassemble one in 15 seconds.

Sir Henry has my respect.

Isn't the internet awesome sometimes? I remember when you would have to read about a process in a manual, a pamphlet, or a book. Now you just watch a few videos and you can do it just like you were shown.

I'm glad you got the hang of it Gene. I've always heard the Ruger .22s were tough to disassemble and reassemble.

Most videos are too complicated. Ive watched dozens of them and most were 5 to 20 minutes long. The video that actually taught me was 30 seconds. It told me everything i needed to know and nothing else. I don't need a 5 minute lecture on how hard it is because i already know that.

Not hard.........But I don't see the need in tearing them down each shooting session.......I can count on one hand how many times my MK II has been torn down in the last 20 years.........Easy enough to clean without doing it.

Many of the how-to videos blather with useless info, taking a long time to get to the point.

I can't stand video's that bury the lead.

I like hickok45’s introductions. Short and sweet lasting maybe 5 seconds. Too many will take more than a minute.

The worst ones are the Second Amendment attorney videos.

Yeah, bud, I don't give a rat's rear about your perceived self-importance. Just shut the eff up and give me a 45-second headline. I am not going to wade through 30 minutes of video to find out how the 1973 case of speargum wheat grass versus Ohio matters in what color I cera-cote my gun


Good lord grammerly took a fail on it's edit of that.

The worst ones are showing the “star” shooting and looking macho while playing rock music for over a minute.

My days of watching those are long since passed.
