Question about Ruger Double Actions

[Thel]

Congrats on getting the GP100. A couple of other things in getting a light action that is reliable: (1) check firing pin protrusion as optimal is about 0.055" (2) set headspace to minimal (3) seek to minimize the cylinder endshake. If the GP is a newer model #2 os relatively easy to do as extended firing pins are available from Bowen and can be readily changed from the rear of the recoil shield.

However I would not recommend any pistol without first trying to rack the slide as some are quite difficult. Revolvers should be checked as well for trigger pull and hammer. I have a Rossi revolver that the trigger was very hard as was the hammer, so I ordered a lighter spring from Wolf to somewhat cure the problem.

Though we are speaking of DA's here I have to say that the Security 380 is an easy rack. Much easier then my LCP II, until I removed the inner (smallest) return spring. Now it is much easier to rack and still functions fine. I have launched many bullets after the spring removal.
