I know Smith made a fixed sight 2" 631. Has anyone ever seen 631 with adjustable sights? Have heard there are a very few.

When the 327 came out I bought an adjustable sighted 32 mag bisley and immediately sent it down to John Gallagher for conversion to 327. It was the first one he had done and it shot great but it went to Jared when I decided I wanted John to build an old model flat top 44 Special conversion with the brass bisley grip frame and octagon barrel. Closet I have now is some ugly hammered old 327/32-20 bisley some little no neck man down in Texas cobbled together a few years ago.

Never cared for the feel of the Birdshead until this one come along. Looked good but just didn't feel good. This one changed that.

But I can’t seem to part with the Original’s. SSM-32H&R Magnums. I allways wanted one of the first ~800 that were truly marked SSM, #250 was my first and like any Ruger nut, when #83 was available, well….both still NIB, go figure.

I absolutely love my Ruger Bisley 32 Mag and 327 Mag. Two of my favorites.

When the 327 first came out I RAN to Alan Harton and commissioned a build. Alan built a Single Six not only in 327 but 32-20 as well to be sure I wouldn’t blow myself up!

Our question on the S&W 631 could not have been less clear. We have a 631 4" .32 Mag. Purchased at the Tulsa Gun show a few years ago. Yep, they are hard to find and expensive. S&W also made a fixed sight 2" 631.
The question should have been, has anyone ever seen a 2" 631 with adjustable sights? We've heard a very few exist but have never seen one in person or even for sale.
Sorry for the confusion.

The 631 was introduced in 1990 and ran through 1992. Smith only made the 2" as fixed sights, both standard and Ladysmith versions (less than 200 of the standard exist). The only adjustable sight variant was the 4". -Lee www.singleactions.com"Chasing perfection five shots at a time"

Harveylogan, youre killin me with thar fixed sight Bisley!!! I have an early SSM that started out as a 9½ inch. Shot like a rifle, but i bought it to cut down to a 4⅝. But it still isnt a fixed sight Bisley! I know where there's one in 22, but the end cost will be way too high. They would make a sweet 38 spl too. After reading this thread i need to get the 32 out, its been too long

We're terrible... We can't even talk about a factory gun without our minds going to what that factory gun could be turned into. My last 32 Magnum base gun is headed to become a 38-44 HD. I suppose we are what we are... Thats what makes this board so fun and enabling!!! You're turning a Ruger into a Smith & Wesson? Bob Wright

Ok…, i’ll bite….I’m guessing a 38-44HD is a 38 special capable of handling heavy 38 special loads? The .39-44 HD was the Smith & Wesson N-Framed model with fixed sights known as the .38-44 Heavy Duty. With adjustable it was the .38-44 Outdoorsman. The .38-44 designation meant it was a .38 Special built on the 44 frame. Highly prized now for conversion to .44 Special. Bob Wright
