Well, I went to my range today and shot 100 rounds of Winchester 130 gr. special FMJ and EVERY 7th. round misfired in my new 686+ 3" that I had my GS do a trigger job on it. Here's the kicker. I ran 7- 357 in magnum rounds of Winchester 110 gr. JHP and not one misfire.
I'm going back to my GS and figure out what's wrong.
Is it the ammo? It shouldn't matter, not at 9 lbs. that the DA now is.
What's your opinions on this. I hope that this is just a minor thing that can be fixed easily.
When I originally brought it in to my GS, he said it might take 4-5 weeks to do the job because he was overloaded with work. So I bought a EAA 2" 357 in magnum Vindicator revolver. I took that also to the range and even though the trigger pull is quite stout I was shooting
1.5 to 2" groups from 15 feet out to 35 feet using the same ammo. I was stunned but quite happy. This is a keeper I hope. Shooting the 357 in mag rounds were pretty tame. No stinging or such. I think that the weight of the 2" ( 1.9 pounds) mitigated any large perceived recoil.
