This is my 31-1, with target grips and a Tyler shoe.....also has vintage Trapper springs installed. It feels great with the Targets on it, and the trigger shoe makes the trigger feel nice. The magnas that came on it were soft and falling apart, it seems this was stored in a damp basement or something. It had light surface rust all over it, I think I paid something like $300 for it.

This gun drives tacks, and the Trapper springs really cleaned up the action. It doesn't like Fiocchi .32 but works 100% with Remington. The Fiocchi gave me a few FTF in DA. It's dead on to POA, I wouldn't hesitate to shoot this in a local informal Bullseye match.

I found a Don Hume holster for a 4" J-frame, the closest I have found to a "duty" holster for it. I like to make "rigs" for some of my guns. I think this looks like a setup a small town Deputy or a security guard might have carried in the 1970's. It's a quick handling gun, and although .32 Long isn't exactly a man stopper it's very easy to shoot accurately and quickly.

great wheel gun and smooth shooter.We use a 100gr.hard cast flat tip with 3.4 grs of Unique for about 850 + fps.we have a 3". 30-1.My wife uses it for CCW and housegun.
 
I just put 12 Reminton Target .32 Longs through it in my backyard, any slight thoughts I had about selling it to put cash toward a .327 are now gone:)

I could probably shoot .32's all day long through this gun if I had the ammo and the time, just so much fun. I get quickly bored shooting .22's but there's something about a nice .32 Long that makes you just want to keep shooting. I'm on the fence about trigger shoes but it works on this gun, probably because even the Targets are small and let me get a good middle joint trigger finger hold. Just a nice even DA stroke, and a nice SA break. At first I thought the big wood Targets looked strange on this little gun but they certainly make it handle and shoot great. I hope this gun will touch off Aguilas, I can find them for about $15 a box at gun shows.

I also want a 3" 30, and a K-frame .32 Long of any type.
