Gunsmithing Ruger BP100 Hammer change out

[Andy152R]

I have a 3" stainless ruger BP100 with a bobbed hammer, D/A only. Anybody know if I can change to a spurred hammer and have S/A and D/A? Very curious....

Ruger has always been responsive to customer inquiries about this sort of thing. Been meaning to send my Blackhawk to them so they could fit it out with a .45 ACP cylinder.

I'll bet you can get what you want done with yours.

Brownells probably has them instock also.

Thanks, I will give Ruger a call. The correct model is BP100. It's quite a good pistol. I have checked on Brownells, they didn't seem to have anything for me. I guess I will have to go factory base.

Re: Ruger BP100 Hammer change out

I've never heard of a BP100... and I've never heard of a DAO GP100.

Ruger only lists one hammer for the GP100, and it is a spur hammer.

I'm guessing that you have an SP101. I don't know if it's a simple hammer swap, or if other parts have to also be replaced. My spurless SP101 will not work as a single action - hammer will not stay cocked. Ruger notes that SP101 hammer must be factory fitted.

Is it five or six shot cylinder?...

Good luck,
