The Rugers are great pistols but a real pain to clean and they must be cleaned regularly or they will jam.

I've owned Ruger .22 pistols since the '60s. I learned the little tricks to get them apart and back together and don't think it's any harder than many autos and nowhere near as hard as most revolvers.
I usually shoot mine until they start to jam. After 2,000-3,000 rounds, crap builds up behind the chamber and the bolt won't go into battery. A quick fix is to scrape the stuff out with a toothpic or something similar and get back to shooting. Then clean the gun when you get home.
