My easiest gun to clean is my SA XDs. Flip the lever, pull the trigger, and clean away. Love it.
I hear the Walther PPs is a real pain.
I guess you missed the part in the original post where I said that I found out by checking the manual. And, the lever on hers is definitely not yellow, it's just unfinished steel (or whatever metal they used).If you have trouble stripping a M&P it's because you failed to read the operators manual. They didn't hide the lever, it's yellow. They didn't make it a secret, it's well documented.
First world problems, indeed, Dave. Then again, that's the case with pretty much every post here, no?

I'll toss in that early gen pistols had a curved sear disengagement level instead of the modern straight levers. Due to the design of the curved level, you have to have it depressed to reassemble the pistol, with the modern straight one it doesn't matter.

I never found my Walther PP difficult to clean .....
EDIT: er,, PP, or PPS? Don't know nothin' 'bout any PPS.
Now, as a LE firearms instructor and armorer, I'd be happy if we could just get everyone on the same page of actually learning to properly clean and lubricate their issued & personally-owned firearms.

While Ruger revolvers are fairly simple to break down, taking Smith & Wesson and Colt revolvers apart is more difficult than field stripping almost any auto. Fortunately you don't need to for simple cleaning.Surely you jest.
Yeah, and that was the point, which some people seem to be either missing or intentionally avoiding. I don't need to completely disassemble a modern firearm just to clean it after shooting it, revolver or auto.While Ruger revolvers are fairly simple to break down, taking Smith & Wesson and Colt revolvers apart is more difficult than field stripping almost any auto.
