It is generally accepted that one doesn't dry-fire a .22 rimfire, as the firing pin will impact the rear of the barrel and eventually break the pin.
But I've heard that the Ruger Mk. II pistol can be dry-fired...for some reason. Is this true, or utter rot?
I guess I should consult Ruger, but does anyone here know...for sure?
In the absence of a certain answer, I'll keep using a fired case to cushion the shock to the firing pin, but I want to snap the gun without any brass in the chamber when I put it away after I clean it
