Really Rough Trigger on old 686

[Maaxmd]

My father’s S&W 686 .357 has an unusually heavy double-action trigger pull, where the first trigger pull is quite normally smooth, then the next pull is rough and next one even rougher, making it really hard to pull. (Note: this is all when dry fired with no rounds in the cylinder)

Can anyone give my any advice about this


Thank you

Welcome to the forum from North Dakota. Sounds like your 686 needs to be opened up, inspected, and most likely given a good cleaning. Be sure to have the work done by somebody very familiar with performing this work. Good luck.

Welcome to the forum.

S&W has a warranty on 686's. I've used it and been very satisfied. Call S&W customer service and tell them the problem. They will ask for your email address and send you a prepaid shipping label and instructions for shipping. Follow the instructions and call the shipper who will pick up your revolver at your home. Should get it back fixed for free in around six weeks or so.

Good luck.

I agree with both of those replies!
