I just won an auction for a GPNY, an NYPD GP100 in .38 Special. Paid a bit more than I wanted but original factory box and GPNY markings and I figured I had to jump.
I know how to take down Ruger GP and Six series guns, but there's no hammer spur to grab to cock the hammer and place the pin in the hole on the hammer spring to take it down. Do I just slowly pull the trigger until the hole is revealed and put the pin in, the let the hammer fall to remove the tension and then disassemble as usual? I always like to take used guns apart to give them a thorough cleaning. Thanks.
