    Disappointing Range Report and Help Request 686

    The strain screw went in about 2-1/2 turns, no discernable difference in trigger pull, so Saturday at the range may tell the tail there. Again, thanks for the help - I will report back!

    Disappointing Range Report and Help Request 686

    Thanks!!! It didn't occur to me to check for fouling under the star. The first couple of batches of 6 had not problem, maybe when I ejected the rounds a grain of something got under there. As to the spring, the strain screw has apparently been backed out, as it stands proud above the grip...

    Smith and Wesson 686 CS-1 4" bbl

    I just bought one of these today. My intent is to use it as a backpacking/fishing tote-along, since its stainless. I am curious, however, about the value of the gun. Does anyone have any information on the approximate value of this pistol? It does appear to have a bit of holster wear, but...
