Any Erma toggle pistol falls into the same category, I think. I remember when I first started collecting them, reading someone's post offering advice on their field stripping, "Watch out for flying springs!" It's OK once you learn how to manipulate the toggle train once the rear axle is out to avoid launching firing pin springs and their guides into the stratosphere.

If you meant a detail strip, I'd say it's worse derriere pain than a Luger. Not hard, exactly, but very detailed, and lotsa parts.

Otherwise, my Ruger Standard, 1907 Savage, and the Whitney Wolverine...the latter two because there are small parts begging to be lost.
