Hey guys,
I have a S&W 686-2 that has a bit of a trigger issue. It's a recent acquisition that needs a little help. When the trigger is in the cocked position it takes almost NO trigger pressure whatsoever to release the hammer. Additionally, when cocked, if a little pressure is applied to the back of the hammer only (and no trigger pressure), the hammer will fall. Seems like a previous owner may have over smoothed the action to the point of being dangerous. I obviously will not load or fire the revolver until the problem is repaired. Thought I would bring this up to the experienced 'smiths' of this forum for comment, before I take it anywhere, since it's the weekend.
Is there anything you can recommend to assist me in determining the root cause and potential solution? Your help is appreciated...Just let me know if any other specific info is needed.
