Pre-lock or not, it's a good price.

As far as carrying it goes, I don't think asking others what it can replace in your quiver is going to do you any good. What are you comfortable with? That may not be what someone else is comfortable with. Carry the 686 around the house and think about it; do you feel adequately armed? Whether the answer is yes or no, remember you are the one carrying the firearm, who cares what others think?
