Taurus Model 431 Stainless .44 Special – 3" Revolver (Incorrect Grips Installed)

This Taurus Model 431 offers a classic stainless-steel snub-style revolver chambered in the versatile .44 Special cartridge. Built on Taurus’ compact frame and featuring a 3-inch barrel, the 431 is well-suited for shooters who appreciate big-bore performance in a manageable package. The stainless construction provides durability and corrosion resistance, making it a practical option for carry, home defense, or range use.

This example shows normal handling wear on the frame, cylinder, and barrel—nothing unexpected for a revolver of this age. The action, lock-up, and cylinder timing appear clean in the photos. The revolver currently wears a set of aftermarket or incorrect grips, as noted in the final image. They are functional but not factory-correct for this model.

If you're looking for a hard-hitting wheel gun with old-school styling and a smooth double-action system, the Model 431 is an excellent and affordable choice.
