New British handgun?
« on: February 06, 2018, 10:38:19 AM »
Webley announced they will resume production of their classic break top revolver. Instead of .455 they will be made in a 7 shot .357. Production will be only 50 per year :o :o :o They will be hand engraved, inlayed, and use exotic wood grips. Cost 6,500 pounds, $10,000 EACH.

Had never seen a Webley break top revolver before so I went over to gunbroker to check what looks like are prior production models.  Any pictures or link to the new production?

In my opinion, there has never been a revolver made that is as ugly as a Webley.

It might just be the ugliest gun of any type.

Strange, not that anyone in that country could own it.

I agree, ugly.  But it worked for them.

The British army had it in service for 100 years. I had one decades ago that was re-chambered to 45.

As to the British not being able to own one its the same as all the firearms, mostly long guns and shotguns, that the Japanese make but can't own.

Thank God for America and the NRA.
