Just got a new GP100 in 22lr yesterday. Took it to the range today and had one or two failures to fire on every cylinder full.
This was with several brands of ammo, including Federal 510, CCI SV, Winchester Super X, Wolf Match Target and others, so it was not just a case of bad ammo.
I would understand if I had changed springs but it is absolutely stock and, more confusing, it is not at all a light trigger pull and does not feel like a light hammer fall. I have had a number of GP100's and I like their triggers after a good break in but you can hardly call them a light trigger.
I gave a liberal spraying of Break Free, and then One Shot, into the hammer/transfer bar area as well as the trigger after cleaning the revolver today and will try again Saturday, just in case their may have been some grit/gunk in there messing things up.
If it continues I will mark the cylinder chambers in which it happens to see if it always occurs in the same chambers.
I hope I don't have to return it to Ruger, but I am puzzled about this.
Any ideas?
