Looking to see if anyone else has seen a cracked forcing come on a Ruger GP 100 357 mag! We have a 'rental' handgun at our range that had an issue recently with the cylinder not closing. Opon inspection, I saw that the forcing cone had a crack in the lower part. While this is a range rental handgun, it has only had factory ammo shot through it. No reloaded ammo!!!! Yes 38 specials, during some training classes and both 38 and 357 mag during rentals.
The pistol went back to Ruger for repairs, and we are waiting to see what they find. I have a 'couple' Ruger revolvers myself and have never seen a cracked forcing cone. |

MVS range has rentals? Didn’t realize that, but of course I was always shooting with James from Valley Armory
 Never seen a cone crack before either, that’s crazy! |

I've see a couple other posts about GP-100s with cracked forcing cones.

Well, we got the Ruger GP 100 back from Ruger! It was only gone for 10 days!! Good turn around in my book. They replaced the barrel, polished the action and test fired it. It not only looks good, but the action is smooth and it shoots very good.
I am good with the service that we received with this firearm.

Yes I cracked mine a few years ago. Pissed me off, because I sold a nice ( fragile?)S&W 19 and got it because it's "rugged" LOL Ruger took great care of me, pre-paid shipping label, and promptly replaced the barrel. I ended up selling it    Ruger GP100 4.2" 90 yard steel |
