Took it to a smith for a trigger job to smooth it out. That helped a little, but it's still no 686. I put in a lighter mainspring, now it won't fire CCI primers.

The GP 100 is praised for being built like a tank, but how relevant is that? So is a 686.

I don't plan on selling it, but had I known better I never would have bought it.
