The 686 is an excellent gun, even with the lock. Enjoy!

Very nice would like to have a 6" to go with my snub , some are really wanting those OE grips . Contact S&W about a extra key , maybe a S&W member will send you one . Mine came with two and keep one in my range bag so far haven't need it.
OP
This one was made in April 2019. The grips are OE. CS says they are sending me a key for free.

Want to know what I think? I think you found a honey hole! You scored a 27-2 AND the 686 this week! Great snags!

S&W 686- any dash in any barrel length is a fine gun. It is a gun for life. Nice buy, they will be harder to find in the near future.

I guess the stars were aligned for me this week.

Congrats !! Any 686/586 is a world class revolver. Internal lock ?? Pay no attention to it. Certainly no reason not to purchase a S&W revolver. 
OP
Took it to the range this morning. What a sweet revolver, very accurate.

To Practical.
Harder to find in the future: The older style, per-lock, no hole's to fill, no MIM parts and few will trade them in. So hang on to them, pay the price and be a happy shooter.

Sister to the 586, they're excellent guns and a joy to shoot. Especially the six inches. Great purchase friend!
I think I can be happy with one with a lock. Enjoy.

I have a 686+ 4" and it is a fabulous handgun. Bought it new and I have never regretted it.

My new 686 Plus Deluxe. Just picked it up Saturday. It's my first Smith (my wife has had a J-frame for several years). Very smooth double-action trigger - only mildly heavy (11 lbs 7.5 oz). Very crisp single-action pull, even though it weighs in at 4 lbs 7 oz. Lovin' it so far!

I will be happy to send you a lock key. I was going through some items the other day that were in a bag and I laughed, thinking, "Why do I have all of these handcuff keys" and then I realized that they were S&W lock keys. Send me a PM and I'll dig one up for. I have a few not being used - anyone else need one?

Very nice. How does the "Deluxe" differ from the stnadrd 686 Plus?

I think it's just the nice-looking wood grips. I figured I'd probably want to install a set of grips like that anyway, so why not order the model that already came with them.

I bought my 686 with 6 inch barrel in the mid-eighties. I have run countless rounds thru it and it has never failed in any way. Enjoy yours !

Thanks for the info; the grips on the "Deluxe" do look very nice. This is my own 6" 686 (non-plus version) with Hogue rubber grips. I picked this gun up lightly used (the owner had apparently lost his gun rights; it happens) and it appears to be a very good specimen. I had my Smith put in the Wollf Spring Kit and a good tune, and she shoots really sweet.

I am just a sucker for a deal on a good used gun. I'd been looking for a 686 Plus 6", but when I saw this beauty I snapped it up. The lower (used) price paid for the spring kit and the trip to the gunsmith. Fortunately I already had a whole infrastructure of 6-gun speed loaders and loader trays. So she's good to go.
I think that the current models of S&Ws are just fine. I regret the existence of the lock hole, but in reality it doesn't do any real harm.
