I keep my 686 for my kids and new shooters.
And it puts a smile on my face every time it comes out of the safe.

If you only bought it for the "cool factor" and the novelty has worn off, then the answer is fairly obvious.Really not too much to think about,just sell it and get another semi,which you seem to prefer anyhow.Or you could always use the money to buy your wife/girlfriend or both something nice.
Bingo,
Thats when I love my revolvers. No picking up brass for 30 mins in crappy weather and snow
...and revolvers are easier/more fun to reload for (IMHO)...
, what would you buy instead ?....- Location

Well, I just bought my first revolver yesterday. I've came close a few times in the past on some 686's and that XL Hunter, but just never could pull the trigger so to speak.
A buddy showed me the M&P line of SW Revolvers. The R8 peaked my interest and although a rail seems kinda weird on a revolver, to me it was a hybrid of classic meets modern. I like how beefy it looks and the matte black was the final nail...
I'm pretty excited to see this thing in person, I've never shot one either so I feel like I'm walking into the unknown...

A while back a co-worker purchased himself his very first pistol, a Sig-Sauer in 9mm.
One day while we were both shooting at the range,he came by to express his frustration in any kind of decent effect on his target. I let him try my S&W Model 64-3 on my 25 yard target. With minimal instruction he shot twice and hit the nine ring on the second shot. He immediately put it down with a strange look on his face & excused himself & left. Later on at work he admitted he did not want to shoot it anymore as he only had clearance to purchase one handgun at the time.

Ever think of using it for IDPA?
It's a hoot! The more people shooting wheelguns the better!
As Clint says "wheelguns are real guns"
(or you could sell/trade it to me...
So true! I'm currently running a M65, but have used my 625 lots and on occasion a 627...revolvers make it fun when the bottom feeders start to get boring...and double action shooting is a blast once you get the hang of it. Plus if you can master it at speed, you can shoot almost anything well

You will love it, their lively guns in the hand, and shoot like a dream.

That's how I ended up with a .44mag as my second gun
Sometimes I play with my Smith when I watch The Walking Dead
I just bought a nice 586 Nickel because of that show. It's the closest thing to a Python that I could find which I could afford. Mind you, I did not look TOO hard..
