I've got two Monson .357s and they both have the recessed cylinders, which I love; did they make .44's with recessed cylinders? I haven't seen one yet that's recessed, or found an answer online, figure someone here knows for sure. Thanks!

DW did not offer recessed cylinders on 44 magnums as standard. The Colt Anaconda and SW 29s I have are not recessed either.

Thanks! I was beginning to suspect that was the case but couldn't find confirmation. I knew about the Colts and Smiths, but I figured if anyone built a recessed .44 it would have been DW. Appreciate the info!

My S&W 629 from the 1990`s has recessed cylinder, and I have seen Smith model 29`s too with recessed cylinders...but never a DW.

Some of the older S&W N-framed revolvers were what most Smith "experts" refer to as "pinned and recessed", meaning it had a pinned barrel and a recessed cylinder. I believe there may have been some pinned and recessed in frames other than N, but I can't verify that.
