Great advice everyone. Thanks.

How's the recoil on these since they are lightweight vs a Model 30 or 31? I've wrist problems and recoil makes a difference. I would mostly shoot .32 longs. Thanks.

It's a blued Model 30-1. Perhaps I didn't use the right term. I mean the brass colored S&W inserts in the grips. Unfortunately, I don't know how to upload photos. Thanks.

Washerman, buying from Gunbroker, you did great! Looking at historical pricing of 431s' and 432s' everything else that I found was a lot higher.

I'm looking at buying some older Smiths. I see that some of them have that greenish tarnish on the S&W roundel. Is that removable or just leave it alone? Thanks for any info.

What would an OK price for an ANIB 431PD? Everything is there. A similar quality 432PD recently went for over $750 on Gunbroker. I much prefer the opportunity to shoot single action on the 431PD. Is one version rarer than the other? Thanks for any opinions.

In my looking at .32s I find that I can get a LNIB Model 432PD or a LNIB Model 30, 30-1 for approximately the same price. Seeing them both in person where I live would probably not happen. I'd like some thoughts on which one might be the better buy looking at the long term. I'll mostly shoot...

Thanks for the clarification on the barrel length. I was quoting what the seller had on his internet listing.

Thanks for the information everyone. This forum is very, very helpful. I'll pass on this one.

The barrel is 4 1/2 inch.

I've come across a S&W for sale that the seller is calling a Model 32. He looked at the yoke and there is no model number. The serial number is 677721. It says .32 long on the barrel and has a flat latch. Any info about what model this is and approximate date of manufacture would be greatly...

I went to a gunshow today and was able to buy a Model 631 4". It was unfired and the box, all paperwork and tools were in perfect condition. The toolkit bag was even still sealed. I don't know how to upload photos so no pictures. I want to thank everyone for their help in this thread. I'm going...

I've been looking to purchase a .32 type revolver. I've looked at .32 S&W Long, .32 H&R Magnum and .327 Federal Magnum. I found in my research that the .327 can handle all the .32 type cartridges. If I bought a .327 and shot a lot of .32 S&W Long in it, would there be any damage to the chambers...

I've thinking of trying to buy a 30-1. Seller says LNIB. It has all papers, box, tools, etc. The barrel is 2 inch and the Serial number starts H57. What would be a fair price for this? Thanks for any opinions.

Thanks for the reply.
