So you know, the finish on that other revolver is cheaper. Bead blasting is just that, media blasting to a fine finish.
I suspect the 686 gets a rougher polished look....to look rougher while not going full bright stainless like the Python.
I agree with you though. It looks crappier. But when you know the others are just media blasted to look good (GP100), you know the 686 gets more attention just with a crap polish.
Your pushed lettering and harder indenting is a new one though. That I would annoyed by. Other than that, actually a good finish for a 686.
