I was wondering if these two are interchangeable. I have a 31 - 1, 32 Smith and Wesson long and I want to get a new set of grips will the J frame grips fit

Here's a hint, if it's a 31 dash anything, it's a J frame

Grips should be the same. Only difference is frame length. Might be different for the early I Frames, though.

I-frame and J-frame grips are interchangeable, but both have round and square butt versions - as does your Model 31 J-frame.

Yep round or square, also an Improved I frame, but takes the same grips as others.

thank you guys


This is it. Bluing is like new but grips are well used.

Very nice, and a square butt J-frame.

Square butt? Man I thought it was round based on this

I don’t think so. Your photo is a larger frame - note the leaf spring. J-frames are shown below.

The gun in this pic is a square butt.

thank you!

.22 LR revolvers should be I frames.

S&W should bring back I frames...

When they lengthened the I Frame to make the J Frame they determined that it didn't make sense to continue production of an identical frame that was just a hair shorter, so they dropped the I Frame completely. Makes sense.

It makes sense to them as a company but the I frame does fit the .22 LR much better, imho, and it makes for a more compact, lightweight, and visually balanced tool.

(I frame on the longer barreled revolver)

Beautiful I Frame.

Nice. Mine.

I've got one, too.

Nice piece.

I have two, a mid twenty's 32 Long 6" Nickel, and a 1916 22/32 Heavy Frame Target. Fun gun's and both are very accurate.

Mine's a .32 S&W Long.
