Nice!
You'll like your 686. Here's a no-dash version with its smaller stainless sibling, a model 65.

It was in nice shape, if I knew what my finances would be this month, I would have bit. I saw a couple on GB for around $700 that looked good too.

This is my 686. It is amazingly accurate with handloads from 125gr to 180gr hornady HP/XTPs and commercial cast 158gr LSWC.
I have a couple of Colt troopers as well, a Mark III and a Mark V. Having shot them all extensively, I think the 686 is a better revolver. I have never owned or shot a Python...just a bit out of my comfort zone price-wise.

I always liked the look of long pipes on 686's, 375supermag.
I've seen that front sight before, is it height adjustable for silhouette shooting?

Caliberman, is that an SSR?
I like those, but almost wish they just made a regular half lug, instead of the slab side.

Hi...
Yes, it is...
Four positions...works very well for dropping 158gr and 180gr bullets on target out to 200 yards.
I keep a chart to remind me of the position number for various bullet weights and distances.
I wish S&W would re-introduce the adjustable front sight Silhouette Model revolvers. Seems a perfect fit for the Performance Center branch.

I really like the Silhouette 686. I know where a couple are at. I probably will end up with one.

Hi...
I would like to get a Silhouette Model in .44Magnum.
I have seen a couple but much too expensive at the time for me to afford.
Maybe someday...
