S&W 686+ / Trigger job

[Rogervzv]

I had my excellent local gunsmith do a trigger job on my S&W 686+ and I took it to the range yesterday. The trigger is smooth as silk and my groups shooting double action were about comparable to what I can do with a good semi-auto pistol. Have to love that.

I never thought I would have another revolver with a trigger as sweet as is the case with my GP100 (which also has had an excellent trigger job). But now these two guns are crying out for a shootout. Maybe this Saturday, schedule permitting.

Anyway, my Smith sure did a great job with the 686+. Here she is:

Beautiful revolver. What are the grips?

Hard to beat a S&W 686 with a good trigger job and Wolf springs.

Hogue Cocobolo. Very nice handling grips.

686+ Trigger Job

I also had my 686+ done at Sand Burr Ranch by D.O. Reichard and it is smooth as silk. The YouTube is pretty funny and he will not change the springs, but smooths all the surfaces and the outcome was better than expected.

The factory trigger on my 686+ was not bad right out of the box. No real complaints.

But guys, after the trigger job, the gun is freaking amazing. Shooting DA my groups look like groups from a good 1911. No fooling; it really made a difference.

I did my own trigger job on my Model 686 Plus. I ordered a set of Wolff Power Rib shooters pack spring set. I stoned the rebound slide, installed the spring set and that's it. Smooth and lighter double action from factory. It was easy to do and I learned a lot about my revolver.

686 trigger job

I have 686 & 586 I myself would leave it factory. I don't think you'll gain anything by dropping a whole bunch of money into trigger jobs
