The Model 31-1 combines a 2 inch pinned barrel with double-action/single-action operation in .32 S&W Long, offering a 6-round capacity. Its steel construction is finished in blue, with a casehardened hammer featuring a checkered spur and a smooth, narrow trigger.
Factory details include fixed sights with a serrated ramp front and a square-notch rear integral to the topstrap. The ejector rod is unshrouded and short, with a knurled tip and a front locking lug. A checkered cylinder release latch and the S&W crest on the left sideplate are present as noted.
This example is pre-MIM and pre-internal-lock, indicating forged internal parts typical of its 1980–1981 production period in the United States. The original checkered walnut Magna stocks with inset S&W medallions remain in place, aligning with factory configuration.
Its blued finish extends across the frame, cylinder, and receiver, and the steel construction provides a classic Smith & Wesson feel. The included factory blue box with matching end label and original manual add completeness to the package.
