I thought you got your answer in post #2.

Great gun by the way. My 6" is a no dash. I'd prefer your -3. Have fun with that thing. Mine has had many rounds through it. Back when we had to supply our own guns I loaned it out for a year or so to a new young deputy. He liked it too. At least he brought it back without having to be chased down. I loaned my 4" to a detective who needed a gun. I don't remember why now. I had to chase him down after several years to get it back. I also loaned my 659 out when the S.O. was offering very stringent semi-auto transition courses. Collectors are probably horror strickin at the thought of such practices. The S.O. has now gone to mandated and issued 9mm Glocks for all. To me my guns were just guns to be used. Your 6" 689-3 is a very fine gun to be used. Go shoot the heck out of it.
