The 686 has a full length under-lug based on what? - The Colt Python. Colt did not shorten their under-lug to that of say, a Model 19.
Colt didn't have to up-size their I frame to handle hot, light .357 Magnums. That's why the L frame was designed. The Python doesn't have a cut-down forcing cone to accommodate the frame, as did the K frame.
There is no comparison between the two lock works. Completely different - Apples and oranges.
Colt no longer builds revolvers. So, the comparison is what?
Pristine 686's don't bring $3K+ like pristine Pythons.
Pythons wouldn't either if they were still made. What's your point? And out of production gun in new condition is going to be more expensive than a current production gun?
