Good choice. The Mark IV is insanely easier to clean than the previous versions of the Ruger pistol.

I bought a mark iii used. I don't think it had ever been cleaned. Never seen so much buildup ever

Wasnt that bad to deal with

With the Mark III, it's not taking it apart that's the problem. It's learning how to jiggle it just right to get it back together.

I had to take mine to a gunsmith after taking it apart.

Yup. Have had mine for a about 6 years now. It's not just insanely easier to clean than previous versions of the pistol, it's just straight up insanely easy to clean. I can field strip mine blindfolded in less than a second.

Seconded. I had a Mark 1 and 2 before getting a Mark 4 and fell in love with the ease of use.
