Well new to me. It was given to me by my father a few days ago. This is the 1st revolver I have ever owned and look forward to learning it from the inside out.
I got a few questions for yall though;
1. The online manual states that Ruger double action revolvers can be dry-fired without damage to the firing pin or internal components. But it says not to dry fire the revolver with the plastic "safety disk". So I am assuming that with this gun I can dry fire it all day long without any worries? Is this only possible with Ruger revolvers or all revolvers in general?
2. What is simply the most powerful & effective self defense .357 loading that I can buy for this gun?
Also can it handle the most potent .357 loadings without worry of possible damage being that this is an older gun?
3. Are there any parts I should be concerned with acquiring for future wear & tear replacement?
4. What is the trigger pull weight when firing double action & single action?
Thanks a bunch guys for all the help & info yall can give me!
