I'm assuming it is safe to dry fire, as you have to pull the trigger to disassemble.
But asking just in case, is it ok to dry fire my ruger mk3 target?

From the manual, page 20:
"The pistol can be dry fired as long as the firing pin stop is in place."
And the firing pin stop should be in place, unless you've disassembled the bolt and didn't put it back together correctly. -
From Ruger:
Can I dry fire my Mark III pistol?
Yes. The Mark III has a firing pin stop that prevents the firing pin from contacting the rear of the barrel and damaging the edge of the chamber. If you are going to dry fire the pistol extensively, the stop pin and firing pin will eventually wear and contact could occur, and we recommend replacing both the firing pin and the firing pin stop from time to time. You should also monitor the contact of the firing pin with the rear of the barrel.Son, one day you will make a girl very happy, for a short period of time. Then she will leave you and be with men who are ten times better than you could ever hope to be. These men are called Marines.Comment

Why not just remove the pin when dry firing extensively?
My Ruger Standard Pistol is pretty simple to disassemble/reassemble, once you figure it out!sigpic
