Looks like you got one of the most desirable 686 models. As I recall, the 3" barrel is the shortest that allows a full length ejection rod.

Compared to modern cartridges, I can't imagine anyone ever accusing .32 anything being a man stopper. That being said, they are a real pleasure to shoot. I'll bet between that and loading .38s in your new N frame you could shoot all day long and enjoy it!
