New to me 686

[rwt1405]

Congrats and glad that you like it!

I have to admit that it just isn't something I'd ever buy, and trust me, I luv me some 686's!

But I am glad that it's avaiable for those that want something like that, and hey, if it might bring in some new shooters (or new revolver shooters), I'm all for it!

Okee dokee. I didn't know if something bad happened at "600". I most assuredly twist my own but never used CCI primers. I use Winchester exclusively with no headaches. I broke down & bought a trigger pull gauge a few weeks ago (not the high dollar one) & it showed 1.5 lbs in SA on my PowerPort that I shoot 2-3 times a week. The WLPs have never given me a minutes problem. I hope you try & wear that new one out just to see what it'll take. sw282 has been keeping a round count on his 44 Magnum Hunter and is at the 13000 neighborhood IIRC. I'm horrible at keeping log books... [emoji51]

1.5#s! Wow!
I thought I was living on the edge when my venerable 686 showed a 2#SA!!! Its amazing the rebound slide resets that low![emoji33][emoji33][emoji33]
Yea. CCI isn't good for nice triggers!

Ha! Sorry[emoji16]!
The trigger is so good that it wont ignite CCI primers properly. For example 1 or 2 out of every cylinder. I'm used to this from my low # triggers . So Winchester ignite at 100% regardless.
The trigger is supposed to be 3.5# SA and 10.5?#sDA(?). I checked it when I got it and it was around 4.5 - 11?. It may have "loosened" up enough after 600 rounds to not strike the hardest primers.
As i type this, this may be a problem for someone who doesn't "roll their own", if they use for example speer and blazer ammo? Both owned by CCI? Something like that. Since i do not buy factory ammo- not quite sure all the brands that use CCI .
Maybe someone can correct me.

HI LOU, MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT FEDERAL PRIMERS ARE THE SOFTEST AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET. IN FACT IIRC, THEY WERE RECOMMENDED TO ME BY 2 GUNSMITHS THAT DID "ACTION JOBS", FEATURING LIGHT TRIGGER PULLS, ON 2 OF MY REVOLVERS. I AM NOT A HANDLOADER, BUT THAT BEING SAID, BOTH OF MY REVOLVERS HAVE DIGESTED ALL SORTS OF FACTORY AMMO INCLUDING SPEER / CCI, WITH TOTAL RELIABILITY.....

BASED ON THE ABOVE, I WOULD ASSUME THAT FEDERAL PRIMERS, AND AMMO, WOULD SERVE YOU WELL........

Where did you find that gold bead front sight Lou?

It either came off of a 625 or 627. I cant remember. It's a factory front sight takeoff from one of my other guns.
