I will give them credit for listening to their customers and also hope they would see fit to offer the 66, 69, 686 and 986's with a 3" barrel. (likewise with their existing 64 and 67).

I recently bought a 3" 66-3 and, WOW, that's THE GUN for me. As a result I'll soon be selling some off that won't get shot anymore. IMHO, the balance and weight is just so much better.
