I gather, from searching, that pinned means there is a pin stuck through the body and barrel, to prevent the barrel from unscrewing. That makes sense.
What I can't seem to find is what a recessed cylinder is. Looking at pictures of "pinned & recessed" S&W wheelguns, I don't see anything different about the cylinders. I have a Ruger Redhawk and I don't see the difference.
What is recessed on the cylinder? What does recessed refer to? A drawing or picture illustrating the point would be nice. I have searched here and on Google and I can't figure it out.
