I AM A HUGE FAN OF BOTH THE PYTHON, AND THE 686. I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL OF EACH. IMHO--BOTH ARE "sleek and beautiful", ESPECIALLY IN THEIR LONGEST BARRELED VERSIONS. FOR OVERALL BEAUTY AND ELEGANCE OF LINE, HOWEVER, I MUST GIVE THE EDGE TO MY BELOVED PYTHONS.....
(NOTE THAT THE S&W PICTURED BELOW IS A 617, RATHER THAN A 686. THEY SHARE THE K/L FRAME SIZE, HOWEVER)

The Model 617 is built on a K-Frame. The K-Frame and L-Frame DO NOT share the same frame size; they are DISTINCTLY different. That's why there are different size hammers for K and L. The K and L frame revolvers DO share the same grip frame dimensions.
