I won't dry fire my MKII whether it is ok or not. I tend to use snap caps for just about all or my guns. One thing Ruger told after a repair is to NEVER use the slide lock as a bolt release

Bought a Mark II with the 10 inch barrel for $200 around 2000.

Breech was peened due to no firing pin stop.

Five minutes with a fine file and a couple "plunk" tests, it was good to go.

No failures to feed, fire, or extract.

No catastrophic failures.

YMMV

It's your gun, but you really don't want to fix it that way. Use a chamber iron/swage (see my earlier post) to push the metal back in place rather than remove the metal with a file.
