DANG IT Kernel! Are you implying there's a 1 in 10 chance my 686 is the first one made(or 2nd) that's pretty cool if it is. Of course now I have to find those original grips.....
Thanks kernel. I changed the stocks(I saved the original) A Smith doesn't look right to me without a wood stock. No sticker and the box has no foam, I think I'm not going to shoot it. It's a sweet Smith but it would make a heck of a carrot to dangle on a trade to the right guy....
Thanks Mr. Brew, riddle me this. I don't know if anyone can see the pic or make out the engraving on the side but....performance tuned to me would lend it's self to trigger "tuning". Would Maganport do that? S&W? Or is the porting the tuning?
Rats. Really thought I had a Pre-performance center. Maybe Magna port engraved it. I was offered a 327 Performance Center for it and passed cause I thought it may have had more value to it. I only have 750$ so I'm not hurting.

Dang it I wish I could get my pic up. The "M" only appears on the original box. The driver side of the gun has the words "Performance Tuned" engraved in it.
Also EDH I'm pretty certain the 6" version is the 622, 2204 and 2206 in SS respectively. The snubby SS version 8 shot is the 2213 and they made a blued snubby too. 2206 one of my favorite pistols to shoot. You are not alone sir!
