Dry firing a Ruger Mark II/II is no less harmful to the gun than any other rimfire.... unfortunately Ruger designed a pistol that requires you to pull the trigger to drop the hammer in order to assemble/disassemble the pistol.... I do not think that dry firing the Ruger for "dry fire practice" is recommended or advisable.Unless the manual says you can.... for example, Ruger MK III, 22/45, and Ruger 10/22....

Can I dry fire my Mark III pistol?
Yes. The Mark III has a firing pin stop that prevents the firing pin from contacting the rear of the barrel and damaging the edge of the chamber. If you are going to dry fire the pistol extensively, the stop pin and firing pin will eventually wear and contact could occur, and we recommend replacing both the firing pin and the firing pin stop from time to time. You should also monitor the contact of the firing pin with the rear of the barrel.
I know you are joking but somebody might think that is true...I only dry fire with a loaded round.

Figures it was you that said that...If somebody is that stupid then they are likely to harm themselves in other ways.

If I had a gun I couldn't dry fire, I would question how robust it was with a round in the chamber. Fo Rizzle. Think about it.
Who has the patience to load a mag full of those faggy snap caps every time they want to dry fire a gun? Yeesh!
Some years ago Fred, Glock-US head tech supt guy told me to advise people NOT to dry fire Glocks w/o snap caps. There are some pictures of broken breach faces allegedly from dry firing Glocks. I posted that and was ridiculed for that. So I no longer carry water for Glock and folks can do as they please.
Call me crazy.....but how would you dry fire it if the safety IS on?i recently read that my new to me marlin 1894 shoudlnt be dry fired with the safety off. first centerfire gun ive heard is bad to dry fire.
It’s fine. Not rim but others yes. Do it ALlL the time. Good practice for trigger feel. If your worried by dry fire round to put in. And don’t shoot your eye outI have been told by some that dry firing is a serious don't but other people have said its fine for checks and for getting the feel of a new gun.
I have a revolver. should I worry about dry firing?
last time i tried to use my MK 2 10" ( blued one) it wouldn't chamber a round. I dry fired it after reading manual that it is ok to dry fire this model as it has a firing pin block. looks like the block is no longer working, as it really boogered up the chamber wall, and now will not allow a round to enter into the chamber.
