S&W 686-3 6" Silhouette

[mazer]

I found one of these in a local pawn shop, it is stainless with a 6" barrel and the silhouette sights. I haven't found anything on a forum search here on this particular model. In fact, it doesn't really come up much at all on a Google search except for old "sale ads". It doesn't have a box, it looks like it is in great condition....figured I'd take a chance on it for $675. It is a pre-lock, and the firing pin is on the hammer.
Has anyone seen this particular S&W? Did I overpay (not really important since it is for my collection), just curious! I want a 629 blued silhouette, but I ran across this first and I am considering it an early Christmas present to myself. I'll keep hunting for a nice blued 629 after the holidays!
Oh, in my excitement, I forgot to take a pic!
Thanks in advance!

Those are super nice handguns. I'd say you got a real deal. They tend to bring a premium in my area even without the cardboard and paper.

You did fine. I've always liked 'em.

Anyone know what years they made this revolver? I probably won't pick it up for a few weeks....but I am curious.
