Hi Folks,
Just joined TLF today after lurking for about a month.
All I can say is that the more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
While trying to learn as much as I can about revolvers, I have come across a question that I imagine can be answered here in about 2 seconds.
A lot of people mention revolvers as being "pinned and recessed."
I see this description applied to S&Ws quite often but don't know if this is particular to S&Ws or not.
What exactly does "pinned and recessed" mean?
I suspect "pinned" referrs to an actual pin being put in somewhere.
However, I don't know what is being recessed.
Does this exist on only particular models/brands?
Is this something people have done to the pistols?
Is it an enhancement or a repair?
Is a pistol that has been pinned and recessed more or less desireable? I suspect more desireable.
Just pretty much clueless all around on this subject.
(and a bunch of others by the way)
Thanks for the info.
Andy
