erm. . . . no. . . . there is no way that cylinder rotation changes. It is determined by the notches on the back of the cylinder which are machined into the cylinder. My GP100 also rotates "backwards" from my blackhawk. If you are looking at the timing hand (the little pockey up thingy under the clyinder in the frame that stops rotation of said cylinder) It should be dropping into the beveled area just before the timing hand notch in the clyinder. If as you are looking at this and the hand is indeed falling on the wrong side of the notch (IE not hitting the cylinder then sliding into the bevel and finally the notch) then DO NOT FIRE THIS GUN! Send it back to ruger for factory repair immediadetly because there is no way in hell that it should EVER do this. And in point of fact the gun is engineered to prevent this from ever happening. I think most likely it has always turned that way and you just never noticed it before (Thats what happened to me about a month after I acquired my GP100.)

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
