Trust me, I just went through this. After quite a bit of research, this is what I found:
The 686+ is always stainless and has a seven shot cylinder; the 686(no plus) is not always stainless and has a six-shot cylinder. The 686 2" snub was only made in 1990 and 1991 and came only in nickel or blue. There is a 686+ 2" snub and it is stainless.
1990 and 1991 are the only years that the 686(no plus) came in a 2" snub. It also goes by the name of the Distinguished Combat Magnum. It is not a stainless gun. (I know, it breaks my heart too!)
My source for this info was Davidson's.
