The one I bought in 2009 is a dash-6, 1983 build. Nickeled, pencil barrel 4-inch. Came with the same stocks your picture shows, and a Tyler T-grip.

I put on the ugly old set of Pachmayr SK-G. What can I possibly say here... I grew up in the 1980s. Those grips were such a standard of the day, new Colt revolvers CAME with them. I bought a set for my 686-3...a week before I got the revolver.

Truth: they look horrendous on my 4-inch pencil barrel Model 10. But they feel "right" and I shoot well with them, so I haven't taken them off.

A picture would be sacrilegious, and I'd be flogged for it... deservedly so.
