Sage advice. Yesterday, I followed Jerry's Trigger Job video,installed a 13lb. rebound spring and a Wolff reduced power mainspring. I kept the factory strain screw. Great results.
I took it to the range today and it only fired 2/3's of the factory Federal ammo I used. I tried it with and without new moon clips. Same results.
I re-installed the factory mainspring and an 11lb. rebound spring. It feels better than stock,but not nearly as nice as it was. I'll re-test next week.
This is on a newer 686 Plus 7-shot. It came stock with a ribbed mainspring.
Does S&W make/use different strain screws for use with the ribbed mainspring?
You experimented and figured out what works for you. I think you are on the right track.
I agree. I'm right eye dominant,but my left eye is much stronger. I found a great opthamologist and had my shooting glasses made with different prescriptions for each eye.
I have black sights,(Patridge front, square notch rear) on all my guns. I tried the F/O,W/O,V-Notch,bead,etc. I find anything else distracting.
Could be just what I'm used to. I have no problem shooting a dot.
Not much difference from recoil, but it makes it a little louder for the timer:)
Good point about the noise. I have a Springfield 4 inch V-10 XD-40. That little guy is LOUD,especially with duty ammo. Nice big flames,too.
I had a comp on my Marvel at one time. I hated cleaning it.
