Correct. An uncocked revolver is a very safe firearm--within the normal parameters of safe gunhandling. It sounds like it would be well worth your time to find a range near you that offers some introductory training to help acquaint you with your firearm and other firearm types and to help you on your way to becoming a proficient shooter.
The 686 is a wonderful revolver. With some help and a solid introduction to gun safety, it will provide you with a lifetime of shooting enjoyment.
