Can you verify if this is a -2 or not and also does it have a stamped M from going back to the factory to be modified? thanks

Where should I look for the M ? All I know is 686-4 and above has the lock above cylinder release. I'm not positive whether this is -2 or -3.

Update: there isn't an M anywhere on the gun.

Hey, I've double checked and this is the 686 no dash. It's the 1981 Introduction model. Thanks

Anything after a -1 should not have the M stamp showing the modification.
Starting with the -2 the guns were shipped with the change made prior to leaving
S&W and therefore not requiring modification. I was a S&W Police Armorer and worked for a
Department issuing the 686. I completed all the modifications on the Department's guns
and S&W was kind enough to send plenty of extra parts to take care of several friends. I was instructed
by S&W at that time (1987) that nothing after the -1 required the modification.

This is a 686 model. No dash. Just 686 not a -1 or -2 . So it's the 1981 Introduction model smith 357. Thankyou
