THANK YOU SO MUCH

Today, my first hammer "bobbing" I don't use the original hammer of my 686 SSR but a replacement one MIM used hammer that I found in a shop Finished cold blue What do you think ? Welcome advice e criticism Thanks guys from Italy

With removed front lock I shoot very good, the cylinder close only back, like Colt No ball installed

Yes, it' very hard and absolutely NO cheap life for european wheelgun shooter ! Usually I order from Midway Italia, so expensive and for any order I have 16 euro shipping cost Thanks for info, I try

How much distance do I leave as maximum width at this point?

What's the appropriate tool for the first cut ? I want a "straight" job I found today this hammer for 30 Euro and I'm ready to Carmonized it my-self But I hope don't make some mistakes..it' s the first time

Thanks

oh my god I hope was the last message

here the pics

Hello wheelgunners I have a question : for you this pics attached is an extractor rod right for the 686, 4 inch barrel ? Because the only L frame extractor rod I founded on Midway is the black tipe, I need steel Here it's impossibole for me order by Brownells Thanks from Italy

I live at 50 Km from LPA factory and i'm very happy

Safariland 333 does work with Comp III If you can find it, try the TKW speedloader holder Patrick ( Italy )

I prefer TKW ( in SSR division of IDPA ) because they are single and positioned at will Remember that if you use them in IDPA have to put two in front and one back Retention level is adjustable and is also esthetically beautiful I use it with Safariland Speed Comp III Try one tkwholters@comcast.net 860-510-3890 they make it for S&W K and L frame choose it with -belt loop- and not belt clip, is better

how many inches ??

what are the advantage of weigand style rear sight comparison to the original rear sight ?

No, I like the red insert !

Mmh, I understand I saw a friend has a 686-3 with the same sight and it's fine for many years, no many problems. I have regarded as a reason not to buy? I hope not I just hope it does not fall to the ground and breaks, or bent

Cd662, say "during my double action pull I will encounter stiff resistance*. It literally requires a sharp yank on the trigger to get the gun to shoot, which obviously results in a miss. This is not just mere resistance, the entire cylinder becomes frozen" I think if there is some endshake..the cylinder not became hardly to move*, but contrary has much too gap to move But I'm not a gunsmith, only guesses

Actually you're right, I checked If I don't wrong the sights with pin is only on the 5^ and 6^ series, is right ? Some good revolver gunsmith (3-4 in all Italy I heard) yes, but there are far away from my house, this is also the problem Explain to me, but if there is no pin..with which system is coupled to the barrel ? Thanks Carmoney

How long time you have this revolver ? Before changing the spring was all right? My opinion, the springs have nothing to do Maybe when you have replaced an ejector, S&W have installed higher ejector than the original, with the result that by not changing the length of the yoke (would be to shorten) this bind up on back..but you mentioned it bind on the forcing cone.. Or maybe they have shortened the yoke because there was new ejector (higher than the original), but having too much ejector can enter and before the cylinder hitting the forcing cone Excuse my English, these are my guesses

My primary revolver is a 686 model SSR (L frame) Yes, this 686-2 is a 4" inch barrel, in Italy the rules is the same, maximum 4" inch It's a 6 shots I use Safariland Speedcomp III

I would like to hear some advice before buying this is the right place

another pics

Hi guys, today i saw a 686-2, sells it a private. I noticed it's in good condition, both estetichally and mechanical NO perceptible endshake, correct timing, no damaged surfaces, perfect wood grips Very nice trigger in DA & SA, the gap is perfect. Cylinder can open and closed very well.. What do you think ? I'm interesting for a reserve revolver for Idpa match in SSR It' s alway L frame, right ? Thanks a lot from Italy

Well, I've read that it is better to let a little tolerance, because otherwise blocked the smooth function of the revo IT is possible that hear again a little TIK-TOK with .002 or .003 inch of endshake ? (with hammer cocked)
