The '''Wes - 44''' is the standard magnum pistol revolver featured in the [[Uncharted series|''Uncharted'' series]]. As it is a revolver it only has six rounds, but the very high damage, rate of fire, and accuracy make up for its low ammo count. It is often used by [[Victor Sullivan]], and also wielded by some of [[Eddy Raja's pirates]] in ''[[Uncharted: Drake's Fortune|Drake's Fortune]]''. It is at first rarely found, but later on the armored pirates that normally use the [[Moss - 12]] shotgun can sometimes be seen carrying the Wes - 44. Due to the guns power and range they make a high priority target.
   
 
It is based on the Smith & Wesson Model 629 Classic (8 3/8 inch barrel) .44 Magnum, first introduced in 1955.

[[File:Nathan Drake 2.jpg|thumb|left|[[Nathan Drake]] using a Wes-44.]]The Wes-44 is a rare weapon to be found. It is available at the beginning of some checkpoints, usually well hidden. It does not carry much ammo and few enemies carry this weapon, however, it kills with a single shot, and the rate of fire is acceptable. If the player wishes to use this weapon, concentration is required, since missing is more of a waste than missing with the standard pistols. This handgun may be preferable at longer ranges, since one-hit kills with it are much easier than less powerful pistols, which require a headshot for a one-hit kill. It can be found more frequently if stealth takedowns are used.
 
 
The Wes - 44 is not available in the ''[[Uncharted 2: Among Thieves|Among Thieves]]'' [[Among Thieves multiplayer|multiplayer]], as [[wikipedia:Naughty Dog|Naughty Dog]] said that it was "unbalanced and too similar" to the [[Desert - 5]] for the game.{{citation needed}}

==Trivia==
 
*The firing sound entirely changes between ''Uncharted: Drake's Fortune'', ''Uncharted 2: Among Thieves'' and ''Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception''.
 
*It is [[Sully]]'s weapon of choice.
 
*It is based on the Smith & Wesson Model 629 Classic (8 3/8 inch barrel) .44 Magnum. This gun is best known as the signature weapon of Inspector "Dirty Harry" Callahan.
 
*In ''Uncharted: Golden Abyss'', the rate of fire is a lot slower, even more so than the Desert-5.
 
*It appears more rarely in ''Drake's Deception'''s campaign than it ever did in ''Drake's Fortune ''or ''Among Thieves'': there is one found in [[The Chateau|Chapter 6]] and one found in [[Abducted|Chapter 12]] as a stealth-rewarded weapon (oddly enough, enemies favor elite magnum pistols like the [[Tau Sniper]] by this point). It is mostly found in co-op adventure missions.
 
*It cannot be used nor found in ''Uncharted 4: A Thief's End'', and only appears in Sully's possession.

The Wes - 44 is the standard magnum pistol revolver featured in the Uncharted series. As it is a revolver it only has six rounds, but the very high damage, rate of fire, and accuracy make up for its low ammo count. It is often used by Victor Sullivan, and also wielded by some of Eddy Raja's pirates in Drake's Fortune. It is at first rarely found, but later on the armored pirates that normally use the Moss - 12 shotgun can sometimes be seen carrying the Wes - 44. Due to the guns power and range they make a high priority target.

It is based on the Smith & Wesson Model 629 Classic (8 3/8 inch barrel) .44 Magnum, first introduced in 1955.

The Wes - 44 is not available in the Among Thieves multiplayer, as Naughty Dog said that it was "unbalanced and too similar" to the Desert - 5 for the game.[citation needed]
