Default New unfluted 3-inch 686

LGS has an unfluted 3-inch 686 with special checkered, slightly finger grooved grips that make gun basically square butt.
At the bottom of the grips are the numbers .357.

I thought the unfluted 3-inchers (or 2.5 inchers) were early models, not current production.

This one was tested and issued from factory this mid-Ocotober.

But I see no listing in the S&W site for custom or standard production.

I do believe you were looking at the TALO model. Here is a link to it on Smith's website, and it is a current production gun:

Product: Model 686 3-5-7 MagnumŽ Series
