    New to me 686 no dash

    So I had bought a brand new 686-6 a awhile back. A good gun but just never really liked it much. Recently I picked up a 686 no dash. Love it, for some reason it is a completely different feeling gun. Will be using it in the cast silhouette matches.

    My New 686-6

    Cleaned up the trigger a bit and installed the Wilson main spring and #13 trigger spring. Single is now #4.9 and breaks like glass, feels more like #3 :) Double is #9.6 and is about a 75% improvement but not as good as I would like, but I can live with it. She loves 158swc but hates...

    My New 686-6

    Sorry forgot to update the thread. First Range day was a success. Fired a total of 54 rounds, 30 of 357 and 24 of 38's. Only fired single action because trigger is still horrible. Revolver shot and handled well. Had to adjust rear sight to the right more than I like and will be replacing the...

    My New 686-6

    I took it apart last night. Polished a couple of areas and removed the lock plate. Trigger is still horrible. Will hit the range in the morning. Loading up some .358 plain based swc on top of 7.4 of BE86. So these are .001 larger than the chambers.

    My New 686-6

    So my new 686-6 came today, did a pretty thorough inspection. First the good: Feels good, well balanced. Barrel looks straight, no can't. BC gap is .006, Crown looks nice No detectable end shake, Lock up is tight The Bad: Trigger is lacking, I thought the Smiths were suppose to have the best...

    Ordered the 686

    Thanks for all the replies. It should be here tomorrow, hopefully I will have a glowing report of it. I really wanted one when I got to handle one a few years ago when I worked for Sportsman's Warehouse. Then at a cast match my friend said hey shoot my 586 in the next stage. I shot my best...

    Ordered the 686

    So I asked for a couple of comparisons with other brands. Most of you gave me honest feedback :) So today I won a bid on GB for a new 686 6" Stainless for what I think is a very fair price, it has already shipped and will be here in two days. Yes it has the hole, but that does not bother me one...

    New 686 vs. New Python ?

    So I asked about 686 as opposed to the GP100. Seems about a toss up. But what about the new Python. Anyone here have experience with the Colt? I have one available at the lgs. 6" and I would be doing a lot of cast silhouette shooting

    Thinking of a new 686
