Was your 686 made before they changed the firing pin design I:E is the firing pin still attached to the hammer itself? Does it have a dash number?
I've fired both old and new Smiths, and an old Colt Trooper and the Colt had the lowest amount of pressure needed to actually pull the trigger, but the target trigger and hammer setup on my 19 is superior im my mind because the trigger has a smoother, less stagey pull, and clean breaks, albeit with a hair more weight for pull. The 686s I've handled, pre and post firing pin change, were not as good as either the Colt or my Smith, but the pre's were still pretty good for a stock trigger setup.
