Hi everyone,
I'm new to S&W revolvers (meaning my expertise in the mechanics of these great pieces of engineering is close to zero). This week I purchased 2 NIB revolvers from the local retailer. The revolvers are a 686-Plus, 3" barrel, .357 mag and a 629, 3" barrel, 44 mag. Both look beautiful, but I have noticed that is is much easier for me to pull the hammer in the 629 than in the 686. My questions are:
-Any reason why it is harder to pull the hammer on the 686?
-Would this affect accuracy?
-Should I send the 686 for either the Master Revolver Action Package or the Combat Revolver Package?
-The thumb piece in the 629 is somewhat loose and it moves side to side, should I send it back to S&W for repair? The 686 is solid as a rock, nothing moves or rattles.
I woul greatly appreciate any advise or recommendation,
Thanks,
GP
