I'm oldgun, and I am new to this forum. I like shooting revolvers. My current endeavor is to locate a suitable gun for my wife. She has arthritis in her hands, and my S&W 686 is a little heavy both weight and trigger pull, so I'm looking at options. She's still a decent shot with it, but I'm looking to make it a little easier for her. Also, Is there a recommendation for a decent gunsmith that could do a trigger job on the 686 in the NW to make it lighter on the pull?
Another interest is that my 686 is a "midnight black" version. Last time at the range, when I ejected the spent casings I didn't turn the gun quite right and one of the brass caught slightly on the frame when I hit the ejector it left a brass mark just under the S&W stamp below the cylinder lock. Does anyone have any experience on how to remove a small brass mark (I wouldn't really call it a scratch) on the black coating?
One old gentleman at a local gun shop told me to look into a Glock 17 4th Gen, explaining that the grip is smaller and the 9mm would be easy for my wife to shoot. I plan to rent one next time we go to the range to see if that works.
Anyway, glad to be here.
