Was there a THREE inch 686 with a shorter ejector shroud?

I was lucky enough to pick this 686-6 up off Freeman W a forum member.
I just picked up some new grips today.
They feel great.
There is a photo of my old Rodgers / Safariland grips , they felt better than they looked.
The 3 inch with my Altamont boot grips did not work for me. The gun was too muzzle heavy for my taste. Maybe I will put them on a K frame snub.
S&W custom shop made by Alamont. $40 was a steal. I offered $50 :)
As much as I like this 3 inch I sure would like a 27-2 in 3 1/2
I will keep looking.

Since I just received two "likes" on photos I posted to this thread some time ago, I thought I would update my 686 family, which has shrunken in quantity but improved in quality.

The first two were in my old photo. The one on the right is an unfired 6" -4 PowerPort and it is flanked by a possibly unfired 6" -3 Classic Hunter. In the middle are a 5" -3 National Match and a 4" -3, the only two I use. The NM is my bullseye gun and I carry the 4" while in the woods in case I encounter a creepy crawly critter seeking a warm pants leg to slither up.

I apologize for the imported stocks on the NM - a have a nice set of checkered targets for it but the ones on it are a lot more comfortable to use.

I swapped the 4" -4 in my earlier photo for the 4" -3 (I'm a square butt guy) and sold the others for offers I couldn't refuse, one of the nice results of buying quality guns. As stated earlier, I like Model 66s better so parting with a couple of 686s wasn't too painful.
