My father bought a used SW 686 Stainless 357 Mag no dash with 8 and 3/8 inch barrel with box in 1984 for 225 bucks. I sold it for 1000 because I had no one in my family to pass it down to. I hated seeing it just sit in the safe. Now someone else can enjoy it. Deff not a soft market for older revolvers! Look at the crazy prices for Colt Pythons!!!!
