The Wes-44 is the standard magnum pistol in Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, and Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception. It is the weapon of choice for Victor Sullivan. It is a very classical weapon, first introduced in 1955.

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 waste than missing with the standard pistols. This weapon may be preferable long-range, since one hit killing with it can be much easier than lesser pistols which must perform a headshot. It can be found more frequently if you use stealth takedowns.

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