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

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

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