Perhaps foolishly, I let an amateur trigger-jobber have at it with a 686. The idea was to lighten and smooth the action.
Ever since then I've been frustrated with light strikes resulting in failures to ignite.
I know the mainspring tension screw was not turned in all the way so I did the obvious and tightened it all the way in. What that did is make it so the trigger is now reluctant to return to the firing position after the hammer has fallen and it's been released. It's sticky, I have to nudge it for it to go back forward.
If I back of the mainspring tension the trigger returns to normal.
I have tried different (stock) rebound and main springs, same thing. I removed the piece that houses the rebound spring and checked for obvious things like dirt, gunk, burrs; nothing, looks good and is lubed.
