Small batches of the 431PD and 432PD are still built from time to time. The others have been discontinued since the early 1990's, although S&W re-used the 632 model number for their recently-introduced .327 Magnum revolver.

Here are the 032 and 632 Centennials from 1991:



JamesD, if smaller J-frame grips like those pictured above don't work for you, you could always try something like the Uncle Mike's combat grip, pictured below. They're extremely comfortable, and should work better for someone with larger hands.

I have had luck finding a New 432 PD at a reasonable price on line at one of the large internet gun dealers. However, I have not seen one recently...but they do show up.
