Hello all, I recently received a new 686-6 4inch six shot for Christmas from my fiance that I have been lusting after for a while. This is my first revolver, however, I own and am experienced with a large variety of semi-auto handguns.
I have shot around 400 rounds through it on two seperate occasions and the only issues I have are that with almost all .357 ammo I have run through it I get hit in the left cheek when the revolver "spits" back at me. I have read that many times this is normal and it doesnt bother me a whole bunch but it really bothers my fiance (who loves the gun) so she will only shoot .38 special out of it. She is not recoil shy at all, and I am just wondering how normal this is for a new revolver.
The revolver did come with a slightly canted barrel which I was very concerned with, however, after shooting it, I didn't even have to adjust the sights from center to be spot on. Not sure if this has anything to do with the spitting problem. Any insight would be appreciated, thanks.
