New To Me 31-1
I found a 2" Barrel Model 31-1 at a gun show in Orlando, FL yesterday. It's in fairly good condition and I'm happy to have it.

If it shoots even half as well as my 3" 31-1 I'm sure I'll have a lot of fun with it. Here's my 3" version of the same gun.

And here's the two of them together.

Nice find. Congrats.
Be very careful. The .32 bug bites hard and deep. Next thing you know...
Well, you know.
Cheers,
Bob

That’s a nice pair. Kind of made me chuckle since I have the same match up in 30-1 round butts.

Thank you two-bit cowboy and Twiki357. The 30-1s are probably just over the horizon for me, provided I can find them.

I've yet to encounter one in that barrel length. Very nice!

Congratulations on a great find. 
My wife's personal gun was a 2" Model 30-1 and she loved it. It led to me being bitten by the .32 bug. I've since added both a 3" and 4" Model 31-1 to my collection. Wonderful little guns and loads of fun.

Once one has been bitten by the .32 bug there is no going back! hardcase60

I carry my 31-1 with buffalo bore ammo.
Nice looking 31. Here is it's brother.
I'd like to find a 3" or 4" 31-1.

My little accumulation of .32's started with a 2", RB, pre-model 30, followed by a beautiful 3", RB, 30-1 and my newest find is a finish compromised 4", SB, 31-1. I love all of them, regardless of their looks.

I wish I knew there was one of those for sale in Orlando. I wouldn't have to think about that one. I bought a M31-1 off a Forum member, and am looking for a M30 to keep it company. We need to a meet or something for all the Forum members in the area.
