This one has a set from Altamont. It may not apply for you being that it is a square butt.

These are Ahrend's grips that I just got for Christmas. Just got the gun this fall - it is also a 686-4, but with a 4-inch barrel and with 7-rounds. I like the way these grips feel and look...they have lots of sizes, types of wood, etc. You can do a search for Ahrend's grips and find their web site...I just e-mailed back and forth with the maker until I figured out exactly what I wanted. These are a round-to-square conversion (makes it look like a square butt), but I always figured if I got a 3" gun I would try to carry it more and would get the round butt grips. You can't go wrong with the Ahrend's in my opinion. Good luck, B

Hey -db-, thats a sweet lookin' snub. Who makes that grip ? ?
Joe, those are factory stocks. I believe they're commonly referred to as "banana grips", sort of like a combat grip but without the finger grooves. There are also checkered versions of the same grip.
Lots of sweet looking guns and grips,thanks guys-I love this forum!I've got a pair of Patrick's stags on my 66,they are sweet and a pair of the Altamont grips from S&W on my 696,but I think big D sold me on the Ahrends cocobolo's

Here is my '04 'Stocking Dealer Exclusive' 5" h-l 686+ - as it came from S&W:
Those are Ahrends square-conversion - with f.g. - roundbutt grips in cocobolo. It also had a HiViz front sight and V-notch rear sight. The deal-maker - for me - was the partial lug. Neat package.

Very nice!
To the OP, either these grips or the combats on your 3" would be my choice.
Can't go wrong either way.
Good eye Jeroen - I made them from a set of junker, square butt, checkered target stocks.
I like to bring old wood back from the dead
