The person you talked to at Davidson's was wrong.
ALL S&W 686 REVOLVERS ARE STAINLESS. Don't just trust me on this, call S&W. Email Jim Supica or Roy Jinks. Examine any 686 you care to. Again, ALL S&W 686 REVOLVERS ARE STAINLESS.

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.

2
.5" is the factory barrel length on L-frame snubbies. My 2.5" 686-3 (Serial #BEU0xxx, circa 1990) was most definitely not carbon steel.
