I was watching a youtube video of a guy showing his Ruger Single Ten [because I have one coming . . . . yay!]. He said that the owner's manual stated that it was okay for the gun to be dry fired. Now, I know that most .22lr firearms are best NOT being dry fired because of the firing pin hitting the frame just above the chamber.
Why does the Transfer Bar on the Ruger keep the firing pin from hitting the cylinder where it shouldn't? If that system [upon pulling the trigger] strikes the rim of a .22lr bullet, how does that not potentially damage an empty cylinder?
