I adopted this poor stainless critter today, a no-dash 4" 686 in excellent condition. I asked the seller lots of questions before I bought it, especially about the grips which I've yet to see on a 686. These look more like what I'd call service grips, or perhaps Magna grips. In any event he said that's how the gun came to him and he's not the original owner. I plan to move these grips to my model 15 which now wears K/L frame target grips, so it's all good, just wondering if these earlier 686 models shipped with grips like this one?
