Actually, I don't care so much for the pimp-gun look of a Ni finish - so I won't likely be polishing my 5" 686+. As a fun-shooter, it's finish suits me. I have only experienced one other trigger that is slicker than my 5" 686+. That happens to be my JM PC 627 V-Comp, circa '01-'02. The worst S&W QC I ever experienced was my '83 vintage 6.5" 24 - a nightmare I never want to return. I bought it as a twenty-year old never shot safe queen - it joined my same gun but from the '02 Heritage production - bought new - and perfect. Spattered brazing remnants from the internal posts caused unreal/uneven drag on the bolt and the trigger return block in that older 24. Thank goodness they 'don't make them like they once did', at least from my experience. I have bought a dozen new S&Ws made from '01 on - lots of ILs - and all have been fine - with vg+ triggers after a basic break-in.
Please - buy all of other's rejects you want - I've had great results with new current S&Ws. YMMV.
