The Smith & Wesson Model 31-1 is a notable example of the company's commitment to producing reliable, compact revolvers tailored for personal defense and law enforcement.

Produced from 1958 to 1976, the Model 31-1 represents a significant evolutionary step from its predecessor, the Model 30. The transition from the round-butt I-frame to the improved J-frame not only enhanced durability but also addressed ergonomic considerations, making the Model 31-1 more comfortable for extended use. The shift from the earlier five-screw design to the four-screw frame with a coiled mainspring reflects Smith & Wesson's ongoing commitment to innovation and reliability. The Model 31-1 thus stands as a testament to the company's expertise in crafting revolvers that combine historical craftsmanship with modern advancements.
