Default Got my 686 Competitor

First competitor I got front sight fell out and rear sight kept coming loose, cylinder would bind up and some double action shots failed to fire and showed light primer strikes. That was with the first 150 rounds. My dealer got me another one and this one looks like it Is working the way it should. Was a little dirty from the factory I assume from the test firing.

Anyway after cleaning it up a bit shot 200 rounds through it with no hiccup and no loose parts. Grouping was not great but that was all my fault. (Been a long time since I pulled the trigger on a hand gun.)

Here are couple of photos including the requisite wood fence photo that I have been seeing. Target photo was the last 100 rounds.
