What are some good, easy-to-assemble .22LR pistols?

My fingers are just a bit too clumsy for the Ruger Mark II and any variations thereof. Revolver suggestions are also welcome.

All the revolvers will be mechanically simpler, and, therefore, easier to service.

The Rugers are known for being a PITA to strip. I don't own one personally, but my friends complain.

I have a Browning Buckmark. LOVE everything about it. It is just a giggle to shoot, reliable, and accurate. Even the people I know "who don't like guns" smile when they actually shoot it.

I have about 5K rounds through mine. I wipe it down after each use, but don't clean it. I've fully disassembled it about 4 times when it gets super dirty. It's definetly not hard to do. If you are all thumbs, any gun will be hard to work on. But, the Buckmark is a great gun and a relatively simple to strip.

my phoenix hp22a comes apart real easy and requires no tools. going further than field stripping requires punches and mallet. I've only had to do a complete disassembly only once in the 3 years i've owned it. It's a good, cheap .22 pistol, but it's probably not what you're looking for... (most people have the same opinion of them as the Hi Point pistols)

revolvers generally requires tools to disassemble. i haven't seen one that doesn't.

Check out the Heritage Rough Rider. It is not expensive, it's well built , and easy to use. It's not a high quality target pistol, but it is more accurate than you are (no offense intended ). It's a great little revolver for someone who wants to get into shooting.

Get a Ruger Single Six revolver....and I have the Norinco M-93 Woodsman clone....needs no tools.

I know what you mean about the Ruger MK series. I just wanted to mention that they sell a tool that makes it a lot easier to take apart and put together.

(Semper Fi means "always faithful" not "take care of yourself." As a former Marine, I just thought I would clarify.)
