Any 3" 686 at a good price is well worth it. The only recall that comes to mind is the firing pin bushing on no-dash and -1 models pryer to 1986 manufacture. It isn't a big deal and if the gun has been recalled it'll have a "M" stamped inside the yoke. There is a current production 3" that will have the lock in it, any earlier 3" 686 would bring a preminum price.
