They are an awesome revolver. I have one also.
The really nice thing about the 3" models is that they are more compact than a 4" but still has a full length ejector rod. After taking the photo with the Uncle Mikes grips I found that BK grip adapters BK Grips | 2-Clip Grip Adapters for Revolvers work much better with the magna style grips on the 82S. BTY according to the Taurus site mine was built in 1992
