Hello, I have a nice s&w and I’ve been researching but I was wondering if anybody knows more. I have a s&w mod. 31-1, serial no. H109654, it’s got a pinned barrel, 2 piece hammer (pinned firing pin) and a goldish medallion in the grip, and a square butt. The most I’ve been able to find out is that it’s a 1965 regulation police, but I’m not sure because I can’t find it in the blue book of guns. Does anybody have any more info?

Welcome to the forums from the Wiregrass! You've pretty much got all the info. According to my Standard Catalog of S&W, your gun was made in 1975. It's a very pretty gun and you should be proud to own it.

Great little gun. Don't see many of those anymore. I like it.

Sunday Smith #16: Model 31-1, 1971

With the changeover from names to model numbers by Smith & Wesson in 1957, the " .32 Regulation Police " became the "Model 31". It continued...

Welcome to the forum. I do have the 31 in a Snubbie and using the 32 S&W Long it is a lot of fun to shoot.
