Thanks everyone for the replies. @Alaskan454 and @IHAVEGAS- your detailed information is very much appreciated. After a phone call with Ruger and a conversation with a local smith, I decided to send it back to Ruger. Process was painless and free, and I got the revolver back within 8 days. The invoice states they did a pawl adjustment, and it works like a dream. After another field strip, I could see the change, and, interestingly enough, it is much easier to get the trigger assembly back into the frame as well (a symptom of the problem no doubt). I plan to put enough rounds through this thing to break it one day so I will post an update if I do anything remarkable. Thanks again!

Outside of avoiding the inconvenience and wanting the satisfaction of fixing it myself, no. That will likely be in my begrudging future.

Hey there - first time poster here, Just picked up a Ruger Super GP100. I noticed an occasional "catch" during dry fire and sometimes the trigger would not pull back at all (or required more force). I am also unable to pull the hammer back into SA without first depressing the trigger a little bit. After a field strip and some testing I discovered that the pawl is catching the cylinder release. Interesting notes: - Any leftward lateral pressure during the trigger squeeze, pawl will catch 100% of the time - Straight pull will catch occasionally. - If I push forward on the front half of the cylinder release, it clears the pawl and never catches (video here). No parts have any visible burs or manufacturing defects that my semi-trained eye can see. Possible solutions i've considered: find a way to increase return spring tension on cylinder release or round off the pawl? Thoughts? Experience with this? I have a video of the pawl catching, but file size is beyond limit.
