Numrich does not list one as available for this model, but does have them for some of the 30/31 and other models. Any idea of what model rivet I might substitute in place of this? I would also appreciate the tips offered on installation.

Before the specific Models #s, Smiths have specific Model names; which is ".32 Hand Ejector" for yours.
You will need an I or J frame rivet; other frames size rivets will be too long, because the larger frame hammers are wider, but of course rivets can be shortened; diameters are the same if my caliper doesn't lie. So for the correct length, look for a Model 30, 31, 32, 33, or 36 or their dash # counterparts.
Here's what Brownells shows:

There may be a rivet setting tool, but Brownells does not list one.
