dockerd- Welcome to the forum. I found this thread over on the other forum it might be the one you saw. http://www.rugerforum.net/ruger-double-action/24734-gp100-hammer-cylinder-problem.html It sounds like the same problem I'm having.

Hopefully it'll turn out to be bad ammo. I noticed when I shot the gun there seemed to be a lot of unburned powder left in the empty cases. I forgot to mention that I fired about 20-25 rounds of 357mag through it as well and those all fired fine. Although they stung my hand pretty bad. I was...

I checked the cylinder gap and I really can't see any gap at all. Pulling and holding the trigger and looking at it with the sun behind it there was an almost imperceptible amount of light showing between the cylinder throat and cylinder face. I examined the empty cases as well as the unfired...

My Dad has a 3" GP100 that occasionally completely locks up- can't pull the trigger or cock the hammer. The first time taking it to the range my Mom and Dad shot the gun and the gun locked up on them a few times. I thought maybe they were doing something to make it lock up so I offered to...

I use Winchester Ranger 124gr FMJ that I bought at: www.ammunitiontogo.com/index.php/cName/9mm-fmj-ammo It shoots great out of my P95 and is probably the best 9mm FMJ ammo available right now. Stock up while you can as it's not always available.

I have factory 10 and 15 rd mags for my P95 and they both work great. I also have some old 15 rd P85/89 mags and they work perfectly in the P95 as well.

I took my P95 to the range for the first time yesterday and fired 133rds of assorted ammo through it. It all fired fine. I had 1 FTF with the 147gr HST ammo, but a smack to the bottom of the mag and the problem was solved. It's possible the mag wasn't firmly seated, so I can't say if it was...

I love my new P95 as well. I would definitely buy a second one, if a great deal presented itself.

I have no problem with manual safeties. I like the fact that I can engage the safety when chambering a round into my P95 and the gun will safely decock the hammer instead of leaving it cocked like on a Sig or partially cocked like on a Glock. When using the P95 around the house I leave the...

I picked up my P95 a few days ago and the first thing I did when I got it home was try out my P85 mags in it. Despite what Ruger told me the mags fit and functioned perfectly in the P95. I am so happy. Now I will be able to use my old 15 round mags in my gun and won't have to be limited to using...

If you want a 9mm, you can't go wrong with either a P89 or a P95. If you want a 45acp, I would recommend the P90. Others will probably recommend the P345, but I personally don't like it as well as the P90.

I've used a revolver of some type for everything including home defense for several years now. Revolvers are fool proof and extremely reliable. But recently I bought a P95 to use for HD because I keep hearing about home invasion robberies being on the rise and got to thinking that if I was...

I found out I have a new 20lb hammer spring already in my parts drawer for a P85/89, so how do i install it? Do I need any special tools? Thanks.

I just just at my gunsmith having him install a spring kit in my Dad's P85 and asked him if a kit was available for my P95? After looking in his Brownells catalog he said he didn't think there was. Brownells only lists the kit for the P85/P90. Is there a kit for the P95? Will the kit for the...

That's a really sharp looking gun you have there. I think the light colored stag grips look much nicer with blued guns than with stainless.
