Hi
I have a chance to buy a S&W 431pd. It is in excellent condition looks new. I want to offer him a fair price. Thanks

If it truly is mint,I would offer him $350

In my area, a clean 431/432 with the box and papers would bring $500.00 or more.

Thank you that will help. I thought somewhere between 350.00 to 450.00

They're not very common - Gunbroker, GunsAmerica and Bud's don't show any, for example - so how bad do you want it? Do you think you can find another one for what you're going to offer?

FWIW, I paid about $500 for two new 432s a couple of years ago. The first one, from Bud's, had to go back to S&W for repairs, was declared "nonrepairable" when they got it, and they had no 32 caliber anythings to offer as a replacement. So I had to find another one on Gunbroker. I think 431s went for about the same price.

I just bought this one yesterday, from a fellow Calgunner for $500. Came with CT, stock grips, box, papers, etc. Pretty neat gun! Guy even threw in a box of "Critical Defense". Whatta guy!

On Gunbroker, they average $650 plus (See completed sales).

Can't wait to get mine out of jail (Commiefornia).

i would agree with the $500 average price

I paid $450 last April for one NIB from a dealer. Although they are reported as discontinued in 2005, Roy Jinks informed me a small run from left over parts was made in April 2016. These are great little guns, I also was able to get the 433PD a couple months later, also NIB but for $525.

I too was fortunate to get one of the last run guns for $450 NIB. If you can get one for less than $550, you are doing good.

This one sold yesterday on GB for $746!

There was one in March that sold on GB for $850.
It was pretty much perfect, though.

I have one ANIB I'll be putting up soon, so we'll see how it does.

Yeah, a couple of them eclipsed the $800 mark, this year, so I think you will do well! The last of the chief's special style .32's (mag).

Good Luck!

I was fortunate enough to get one in 2016 ......never figured they were put together with spare parts. It is a terrific gun and I'm glad to own one.

I also got one of the "Frakenguns" last April. On hindsight, I wish I bought two. My whole family loves shooting the .32 for it's comparatively mild recoil and the extra sixth round for a J frame. This is a pretty rare gun and as evidenced by the recent GB sales, rapidly increasing in value.

I was lucky enough to get one from the 2016 run, felt like I stole it for $450, they were running $600 and up for clean used ones at the time.

Love that description! I love this lil gun, they are so neat. I may even pick up a 432PD, as 2nd .32!
