I hope you choose to get your 4" 686. I have never heard anyone saying they were unhappy or disappointed with one.
They might have decided that the gun is too heavy for everyday carry but that says nothing about the merits of this fine revolver.
I checked my records and see that I paid $700.00 out the door for mine at a local gun shop in February of 2013. That include the 8% sales tax, $5.00 state fee and about $40.00 for the paperwork etc. Prices have generally gone up since then.
If you think you might like to carry it concealed once in awhile that is possible with winter clothing but much more tricky otherwise. If you want to carry more often then you would want to consider the snub nosed version. But you can't possibly go wrong with a 686-3 686.
Good luck.
