I did find I needed to adjust my grip slightly on the 432PD as it is so light the cylinder thumb release would eat into my thumb on recoil.
I continue to add to my "accumulation" of 32's but I have not reamed any as I have both a 431PD and a 432PD as well as the 16-4, so I have left all my 30's and Pre 30's alone.

Me too. I have a stock M31-1 and a M431PD so no real reason to modify the M31.
I used to carry the 31-1 sometimes before I got the 431. And where I live, the CCW issuing authority specifies carry guns can't be modified from factory specs -- except for sights and grips.
So reaming out the 31-1 to accept 32 H&R Magnum cartridges would mean I couldn't carry it again if I ever wanted to.
I really like the J frame square butt guns and factory service grips and find the 31-1 is the gun I can shoot most accurately. So it is possible I might switch back and put it on my carry license at some point.
