Do I look like a gun manufacturer?

The tolerances are way too tight so you have to slam this gun with a mallet multiple times, once to get the barrel far enough back on the frame, and AGAIN with the mainspring housing at the end. They even do this in the Ruger instructional videos!
You have to hit the gun so fucking hard upside down that you snap the rear sight blade an average of once per reassembly. +10 USD and two weeks to get a new one per cleaning, so budget that in.
You have to use a fucking paperclip or piece of wire bent at an angle to get the mainspring assembly out.
Not only do you have to tilt it at very specific angles multiple times and listen for clicks, you have to pull the trigger multiple times during both take down and reassembly!
One of the times you have to pull the trigger while pointing UP at a 45 degree angle! Do you know how fucking dangerous that is?
You literally cannot reassemble this gun without breaking the rules of gun safety more than once.
When you get to the last step, the fucking mainspring housing step? Oh shit, good luck. I follow the videos exactly and it keeps sliding out. There's a little black piece of metal that if it doesn't fall just right in a place you cannot physically see, you cannot complete reassembly.
The gun is fine, but when you need to clean it you are completely fucked. The take down and reassembly are the stuff of nightmares. Their fucking engineers probably got it working with brand new guns in a lab, and called it a day.
Well Ruger, you produced a piece of trash. After moderate use, this thing can literally be impossible to reassemble.
Did you not get normal people to try and use the gun and field test it before calling it a finished product? You let engineers design it top to bottom? Are you fucking stupid?
