Could you tell me the slight differences between them?

I think that the following three sentences are all grammatical and idiomatic and there is no any difference among them. Am I right? Thanks for your help. Emotion: smile

1. After we finish this I won’t detain you any further.

2. After we’ve finished this I won’t detain you any further.

3. After our finishing this I won’t detain you any further.

Hi;
Numbers 1 and 2 are ok. #3 is grammatically ok, but not what a native speaker would say.

I would also say "longer" instead of "further."
