Because I am a prick. I bought my S&W 686 and the first time I fired with 357 the primer would mushroom and not let the barrel turn. With 38 it would work fine. After the long slow painfull S&W warranty they sent the gun back non-repaired after 3 months. I returned to the dealer and they replaced it with another new one. About 300 rounds later the action would make a funny sound when using the double action. I took it to a local gunsmith to do a light action job. He performed miracles and have not had a problem in 20 years. It turned out S&W was having quality issues and some guns did not have the hammer stop installed. True 20 years ago, but after the fiasco I can not recommend their product.
