    Can anyone tell me what is meant when someone describes a S&W revolver as having a "recessed" cylinder? BT

    Was it in the box? If it was look on the end and post the product code so we can tell you about it. S&W put out a few models of the "HUNTER" series.

    It is stainless with full lug. From what I have found and from the help I was given so far, I believe it may be a 629 Classic Hunter. Now I just have to find out if it could possibly be one of the "original" ones.[:0] Most likely not, but possible.[:D]

    Jon...... Not sure what you mean by one of the "original" ones. If its a stainless .44 mag, its a 629. Within the model 629 there are several "Classic Hunter" versions.

    There may also be a -2, -3, -4 etc after the model number denoting engineering changes within the model run.

    As mentioned, this is probably a version of the popular Smith 629 .44 magnum revolver.

    That's the old "Dirty Harry" .44 magnum revolver, but in stainless steel and with some other minor differences.

    There is a fairly common "Classic hunter" version, which might be what's in that store.

    There is a Talo-issued special version from 2003 called the "Whitetail Hunter" which had an engraved picture of a buck deer on the side. I think this one only had a 6" bbl, though.

    Lastly, I remember seeing a special edition Smith 629 that I think had a deer on the side, but I can't remember the details. It was matched with a similar .500 magnum with a different animal, and a third revolver with a third animal. Maybe someone can help me out here.
