Thanks, though the cylinder isn't recessed-I assume (uh oh that word lol) it's a model 24 cylinder that was used. The caliber markings on the barrel look to my, again untrained, eye as factory. My friend has fired it, says it shoots great, looking forward to hitting the range maybe tomorrow to see how it shoots (I have some mild .44 factory cowboy loads for plinking in my 629).

Forgot to mention I also picked up a couple new in the package HKS speedloaders too.
