    Engineering changes in the model. Everytime a design change is made, the dash number changes.

    I found this on the S&W forum:

    686 History
    686 ''dash nothing'' - 1980
    686-1, 1986 - radius stud package and floating hand
    686-M - 1987 recall stamping on earlier versions
    686-2, 1987, hammer nose change, bushing and ***'d parts
    686-3, 1988, new yoke retention system
    1990 - 2 1/2" barrel introduced.
    686-4 ........ 1994 thru 1998 - many changes including move to 7 shot, sight changes etc.
    686-5 had the move to MIM parts and frame mounted firing pin
    -6 is when S&W started putting the lock on the 686; -5 and earlier are all pre-lock, and -4 and earlier are all pre-MIM hammer/trigger (-4s had a MIM thumbpiece).

    The -4 list of changes says "many changes including move to 7 shot, sight changes etc."
