What causes the hand to drag against the cartridge rim? This is on a 686+ and rubs on all chambered cartridges. Curious if others have had this problem and what the resolve was.
I had that issue with a 686+Pro. With the cylinder swung out, cock the pistol (you'll have to pull the cylinder latch back to do that) and take a look at the hand. It's probably not flush with the recoil shield. Fixing it on mine took about 15 or 20 minutes with a diamond file. They sound expensive but a set of them ran me less than twenty bucks. I should add that you'll have to pull the sideplate to secure the hand or it will just push in when you try to file it.
