So I bought a 686. I hated it. Worst firearm I ever owned. It jammed more than a Rem 742 30-06. The primers would back out regardless of ammo maker and it took channel lock pliers to rotate the cylinder to free it when that happened.
Our Major was a S&W cert. gunsmith and installed/replaced the parts recommended by S&W.
How long ago did this happen? Could it be you had one of the first 686 no-dash units? These first units had the primer flow issue and were recalled by the factory. This problem was corrected in succeeding production runs.
