Keep your thumb off the cylinder release when firing it. That was most likely what caused the malfunction. Under recoil, you can hit that release and cause it to jam up due to the cylinder trying to unlock. Pushing on the cylinder usually relocks it correctly and frees it up. Sometimes, it can take a rubber mallet to get it unstuck.
If you want to practice dry firing. Empty the revolver, place a dime on the barrel just behind the front sight and dry fire double action. Put a target up to have something to aim at and dry fire double action without dropping the dime. This exercise really works well on leer revolvers with a round barrel but is still pretty with newer guns.
It takes a minute to get used to shooting a revolver due to the long trigger pull, but it will be come second nature to you. They are a pleasure to shoot. I recommend starting with 38 special or light 357 magnums and using the rubber grips. Granted, the wood looks nicer but the rubber does mitigate recoil.
4:58 you can see the trigger is held to the rear and did not reset. If you are new to revolvers or just working on guns in general I would have a competent gunsmith look into it. If you don’t have a local one you can trust, I would just contact S&W and send it back to them
If you move your hands up a bit closer to the hammer the gun will not kick up as much when firing .357 rounds, this should also keep your thumbs from getting near the cylinder release.😉
That's a beautiful revolver with the wood... I have the same 686 plus with the rubber grip.... What's good with the 6" bbl. ya can put on a rail with a pistol scope.... At 100yds. gets boring hitting a gong.... be well.
357 mag is a snappy round , not ez to shoot .. Don’t play with the sights just practice.. I am more concerned about the gun locking up on you with your first cylinder of rounds .. Always be sure to let the trigger fully reset before your next shot .. Not sure but I think that’s what happened .. great video Brother !!
I've bought two boxes of Magtech. one .38 and one .357. the .38 fired fine but the .357 failed at a rate of one in five. if you over extend the rear sight screw it will break.
Hope I didn't break it and can bring it back to the right. Bought the spanner bit and I'm going to give it a try this weekend. Thankfully I haven't had any issues with the Magtech ammo... yet.

Great idea. Thanks for the tip, and thanks for watching!
I’ve done this for decades.
@@J.R.F.23 works, doesn’t it?

Thank you! Looking forward to getting more practice. Thanks for watching!
I love my 4 inch version of the 686 Plus.
I really need to get my sights fixed. Thanks for watching!

Absolutely gorgeous firearm and great video. I own the same one but mine's got rubber grips.
Thank you. It is a beauty for sure. Thanks for watching.
I just got that same revolver I love it

Beautiful indeed! Thanks for watching!
I think.. where you went wrong was possibly you were pulling the trigger as you were pulling the hammer back maybe hard to tell for sure
Mine did the same thing a couple days ago

Keep at it. When you get that DA trigger down a Glock is easy

@@MisterBrewer Thank you ! I am in California so Have to wait 10 days for the back round check to pick it can't stand 😶the wait.
Is a Taurus 66 a clone of this? I know it's a clone of something.
Im not sure.
I think he's funny 🤣
No offense but seem like you've never handled a revolver before . Just keep shooting brother.
I dont have a lot of experience with them.
He clearly said that in the beginning of the video....should listened 😊
Practice with 38 special and learn finger control
Estudie en el armi de mipais
Nesesito Esa 357
I think you need to adjust a windage little bit. Seems that no mater what you do it’s shooting to the left
It's obvious that you don't have a clue with a wheel gun. When unloading try flipping the gun over and point up.🇺🇸⚓
You've got to start somewhere. Thanks for watching.
Yep. Once you get familiarized with it you'll love it. A nail driver!
I bought my 686 no dash in 1984.
