The revolver in the picture is a Smith & Wesson Model 686.
The actual barrel length is 4 inches measured from the front of the cylinder, not the front of the frame. |

Oh wow. I'm sorry. I admit I did not full read your thread. I apologize. I thought you were looking for one.
I have a Model 19. I don't know what that is. Guilty. |

Hi,
Your picture is a little fuzzly but here is mine 686-2 4 inch with Pachmayr grips and it looks like yours. Howard |

FWIW, If you change out your stalks, hang on to the original S&W walnut target grips. They are a bit pricey to replace.

"AJ 2-6800"
That's not the model. It's very likely a partial serial number. Serial numbers for S&W revolvers in the 1980s went to a 3 letter plus four digit system.
