The first time is a little intimidating but it really is not that
difficult once you learn a couple of little tricks, most of which
involve getting the hammer in the right position. There are a number
of good YouTube videos which show you how to do it. On balance I
think it's easier than a 1911.

Huh?
I don't think there is anything easier than a 1911.
You can take one apart in about 2 seconds.

(Pull the slide back half way until the notch lines up, pull out the
slide stop and let it go)
I can put one back together blindfolded in less than an minute. That
is a bet I have won many times.

My woodsman is a trick. I don't do it very often and I always eb\nd up
scratching my head for a minute before I remember that little spring
steel doodad you have to engage.

Ruger Mark III's, not 1911's. 😀

Richard referred to the 1911.

And so did I, comparing breakdown effort of the Ruger III vs a 1911. I
think it's mostly a matter of what you've had the most practice with
but it always seems to take me a couple of tries to get a 1911 back
together properly.

From the air, anything west of the Applachians appears pretty
desolate.

Having ridden and driven across the country a few times, I can
honestly say it's all beautiful - as long as you stay out of the inner
cities.

Except for here. I'm surrounded my little more than corn and bean fields.

I guess to get proper perspective, you need to keep your feet on the
ground. You miss so much "flying over". Perhaps we misinterpreted your
comment as derogatory. Correct?

We do most of our vacations in flyover country (the Dakotas, Wyoming,
Montana, Colorado etc)


I spent a considerable amount of time in the 1960s perusing Kansas,
Missouri, Colorado, Oklahoma (ugh), Nebraska (double ugh), South Dakota,
and Iowa, & had a brief foray into Wyoming. Also helped "integrate" some
rest rooms in Texas and Louisiana and got shot at in Mississippi. That
part of the world was an eyeopener back then for an Eastern lad like me
whose exposure to United States geography in real time had been limited
to New England, New York, and south Florida.

You haven't lived until you've spent a Thanksgiving college break with a
friend on his family's rutabaga farm in rural Vermillion, South Dakota,
or a Christmas break with another friend on his family's cattle and hog
ranch outside of Joplin, Missouri.

I wouldn't mind spending some vacation time in Montana, especially after
reading Norman Maclean's wonderfully descriptive writings.
