anyone with 'speed strip'

[neophyte]

I found a site with a MK11; looks more like a Ruger handgun take down kit
called 'The Speed Strip Kit for Ruger .22 Auto Pistol"
What is it? What does it do?

Thanks;

What does it do?

I've only seen the photos/adv...
**but** ... IMHO: time spent "practicing" the (dis)assembly two-three times
then again a day or two later... and again... will be better spent than
working to install the 'speedo'
then you can dis-assembly other MKx, too. Not just the one with it installed.

By Coincidence (my MKx's are II's, no III's in the herd), at the range
the other day, a young-feller had a new shiny MK3-22/45 and I offered
to "give him a lesson" on the field-strip... yeah, forgot and fumbled
at every turn when the Mag needed to be inserted/removed!! D'oh,
so much for my "experience"...

anyway... the Field-Strip instructions (somewhere here) should be adequate
to get some practice. *my trick* is to insert the MainSpring WITHOUT the barrel/receiver
and carefully observe the placement of the hammer&strut for each step
to get a mental-image of how/why the pistol needs to be held at the
various angles... for the strut to hang freely and insert into the MainSpring-Cup
as you close the latch... Good Luck.

The speed strip kit is designed to allow a user to remove a specially modified bolt stop pin and allow the user to slide the bolt out of the pistol without having to remove the mainspring housing. There is a modified hammer in this kit that also makes enough room to remove and reinstall the bolt without mainspring removal. Once the bolt stop pin is removed one could also remove the receiver without taking out the housing.

Folks from Ruger do not like this kit, they feel that the threaded bolt stop pin could fail and the user could be injured by the bolt flying rearwards during recoil. I haven't heard of such a failure, but I guess it could be possible on an improperly heat treated bolt stop pin.

I don't see a need for a kit like this one. A little practice and disassembly/reassembly is easily accomplished on these pistols. $50 MSRP can go a long way toward some ammo for a better shooting technique and more firearm satisfaction.

I didn't realize that taking one apart needed anything other than a piece of string, small punch and @times needle nosed pliers; and a shake/wiggle
Maybe I could develop a tool

Thanks
