My 6" 686 shoots like a house a'fire....but after many thousand rounds, shows an odd wear pattern on the front of the cylinder. A S&W rep was asked to explain this, at a 'demo days' shoot...no answer. Our local pistol smith readily identified the problem: a machining 'goof' from S&W. Solution: take off barrel, recut the forcing cone, etc. Not at my expense! So, I shoot it, and enjoy it, as is. Just wonder what it 'could have been'.
