Pawn shop find. 4" 31-1 and 14-3

[Biff_Biffington]

These both came from a random pawnshop stop. The 14-3 has one of the lightest and smoothest triggers that I have ever handled. When I started in law enforcement back in 1987, many old guys still carried these. Has some holster wear but a great bore. SN K962XXX.

The 31-1 is minty- SN 745XXX with a flat latch which IIRC dates it to before 1966. Trigger is usual for a J frame. Smooth but heavy. Both left with me for south of $650 total.

Model 14s might be the best gun Smith has made, IMO. Clearly, you found a wonderful deal on yours!

I have an 8-3/8" bbl Model 14 but haven't shot it yet. It pairs nicely with my 8-3/8" Model 17. Sadly, I haven't shot it yet either!

This is my 4 inch M31-1. I've replaced the magna grips with a set of the J frame target stocks. They give me a much better grip than those tiny magmas that came on it. I recommend you give them a try.
