I've had several folks tell me the 686-4 was supposed to be a round-butt..butt mine ain't!
Your “Dash 4” gun was introduced in 1993
It is most definitely a square butt gun, just like it was supposed to be

In the future, if you present the product code number this is more helpful than the serial number in researching model particulars.
This should be on any S&W paperwork you received with the gun and on the labels of the S&W gun box or case.

It is a six digit number starting with either
104XXX
130XXX
148XXX
149XXX
164XXX
170XXX
604XXX

This number ties all the guns sights, stocks, trigger and hammer features to the particular gun
FYI….
