Own a 686P myself, beautiful shooting gun. Very accurate even in my "shaky" hands with the old peepers. Only gripe I have, it is a pain to get it really cleaned up, getting the carbon rings off the face of the cylinder.
That is why I don't shoot it very often, take the semi autos instead more to the range.
Wish I knew of a cleaning product that really worked easy, I have tried
treated lead rags as Hoppes #9 doesn't hardly touch it.

Some people claim (key word there!) that the M686 Plus has a lighter double-action trigger pull because the 7-shot cylinder doesn't have to move as far as the 6-shot cylinder.
I can't tell the difference.
S&W generally reserves out-of-the-box factory trigger work for their "Pro Series" and "Performance Center" guns, particularly the latter. They will do a trigger job on almost any recent S&W product if you send it to them, but you gotta pay for it.

Hi,
While I don't own a 686P I have handled several of them and I don't feel any difference between the 686P and my 686-2. I still like mine because it is a pre-lock. Now the performance models do have work done on their triggers. I have handled a 686ssr 4 inch and the trigger is very good. But then again it should be for the amount of money S&W whats for it.
Bottom line, I don't think there is any difference between the P and the standard 686 other than one more round.

Thanks, I will give that a try. My reloads leave a mean residue, so I'm willing to try anything (within reason that is).
