I field strip mine for cleaning on about a 2-3 shooting interval with a minimum of once per month. I'm not particularly good at keeping rounds fired counts.
When I get a new pistol, I field strip it and clean it. When I did this with my first MKIII the language was so bad the dog left the area. Once back together, it came apart and back together a couple more times until I figured it out. Bullseye's site and the ibad69 site are good to see how field stripping and reassembly works.
I don't think Rugers are any more difficult to field strip and reassemble than a 1911 and I never hear any complaints about those. I keep looking for someone who has a MKII/III and is so disgusted with the "difficulty" that he is willing to part with the pistol at a good (to me) price. Haven't found him yet.
