Thank you. Its the most accurate gun I own.
Or, I'm most accurate with that gun.
When it goes to the range it wears Hogue Monogrips.

Unrelated to the OP's question, the 5" 686-6+ that I sold was a 1/2 lug and was shipped
with Ahrens Wood Cocobolo grips, a Hi-Viz orange dot front sight, V-notch rear sight,
target hammer and a smooth target trigger.
I think these Stocking Dealer Exclusives were the only 1/2 lug 686s.
rubiranch,
I don't care for the lock but otherwise I like that model a lot. I'd have kept that one.

I paid $700 for my 4" 686-1 that was like NIB.
Paid around $500 for a no dash 2 1/2" barrel one that had been used as a truck gun. Only needed some light sanding and a lot of polishing. I wouldn't take $1,200 for it.

I've seen used -6's sell for about 7-800 these days. Probably the panic or fear .
Prelock ones are pretty much higher than that (Calif.).
I'm glad I have the ones that I do have.

I got my -4 just about a year ago for around $650. Rare to find one now anywhere near that.
That one looks fantastic. I really wish that S&W would offer a partial underlug in the 686/586 as a standard catalog option. Especially in the plus models.
I like the 686 but my preference is for a fixed sight 681. I like the blued 581 even better. In my experience the fixed sight revolvers acquire a target faster and are more accurate. The blued guns are just sexier than the stainless.

Gonna do that next year when all this crud leaves us and gets the koolaid sellers off our backs. But your answers gives me somewhere to start.

My brother competed with this one that I already posted a picture of.
This is how it came to me wearing Hogue Monogrips and quite dirty.
It has a High Patridge front sight.
A Millett rear sight.
Its had extensive trigger work and has a smooth target trigger.
When shooting DA I'm pretty sure of you look at the trigger hard enough it will discharge the gun. LOL
Like I mentioned before it is the most accurate gun I own.
If yours isn't a safe queen you really need to take it to the range.

Correction to my above post:
Price on the 6" 686 at the LGS is $710...and still available. PM me if interested and I'll put you in direct contact with them. ( I hope I didn't break any rules here)

Saw a 4 in 686 pre hole model in Spokane about 4 years ago for $600, which we thought was a great price then. Any stainless in CO S&W I've seen lately is above $800, with used 686 mid $700s. New in store are similar, so with some talking.....
OP
Going to a local gun show this weekend so we shall see what the prices look like if there are any for sale 
Prices!
Bare shelves, Covid, & the election = stupidly high prices on almost any gun compared to 1 year ago! ! ! ! Gun show 2 weekends ago, 9mm $35/box, 22 $75/brick, & NO primers! I'm glad I reload and have a stock pile!

I sold a LNIB 4" 686 no dash back in November for $1000.00
My 5" Stocking Dealer Exclusive 686-6+ went for $545.
I was surprised that it didn't go for more.
I kept my 6" 686 no-dash. Its not going anywhere except to the range.
I have noted several instances where used in decent shape pre lock 686s go for more than a brand new post lock gun, so I am not surprised.
At the beginning of the year I paid 640 for a no dash 8 3/8th" 686 with the silhouette sight. Then America went full retard with Covid and riots.
If you can get any nice pre lock square butt 686 for under a grand, I would consider you lucky. I suspect the craziness is driving prices up now on guns no one would have considered before. With all the 9mms gone, those good old .357s look pretty damn good.

Used 6 inch 686 with factory target stocks was on a table today at a local show for $850.. it did not sell and the gentleman took it home.. his buddy sharing the table had a used 457s with 2 magazines for $500. It did not sell either and he took it home too.
