S&W 686+ Carry Package

Hi All,

Had my eye on this 3inch 686+ for a while now. Love the look of a unfluted cylinder, 7 rounds. This will be used for open carry around my property and a few other places in my small, very gun friendly community.

I have ordered a Diamond D leather holster with drop loop which I am excited to try out. I also added the Wolff mainspring (not reduced power) which did significantly improve trigger pull while maintaining reliability. I learned a while ago that the reduced power one did NOT work for my other 586 and 686.

Whoops, thought I posted in revolvers. Mods, can you please move?

Can you explain the spring change a bit more?

I want to see the holster.

Sure!

For the spring change Wolff Springs offer a different mainspring. They offer their power rib and a reduced weight power rib. I went with their standard weight which was still a huge upgrade. Pretty simple swap.

With regards to the holster, it will take 8-10 weeks to get here. Here is where I got it:

I went with the dark brown.

The link is just to the drop loop, I paired it with the Alaska Hunter Hip.

That holster looks really cool. Did you replace the spring because your gun was having an issue or to make it better?

Replaced for better trigger pull
