I did a complete disasembly of my Ruger SP 101 and it is so EASY. Besides the learning experience, I was able to clean the inners and put a little CLP into the mechanisms (specifically the mainspring housing). Reassembly took a little longer, but its not that bad. Gotta love a revolver that can be disasembled very easy without elaborate directions. The whole procedure (disasembly-cleaning-reasembly took 20 minutes).
