I have a 431 4" which I bought new at a local gunshop here in Sacramento when that revolver was being closed out. I got it for $149 NIB. I had a gunsmith remove the single action sear and smooth the internals (remove burrs, etc). The gun wears the factory rubber grips.
It's a very nice revolver, reasonably accurate and easy to shoot with just about all .44 Special loads. It's loaded with 5 Glaser blue tips for home defense, with CCI Blazer 200-grain Gold Dots in a speedloader for reloads. The recoil is not bad.
Because this revolver uses a coil mainspring (like the S&W J-frames), it will never have the butter-smooth DA trigger pull that a leaf-mainspring K, L or N frame Smith revolver has, BUT in this case, the price was right, the gun does what I want it to do and it's a keeper.
If you're in California, you may be able to find one on a consignment sale at a dealer, so look around. The 431 is worth a look.
