Anderson Wheeler says they're going to start making a .357 version. I sure hope so. DRSS | |||

Have you heard anything about what the finished price of the revolver will be?

I want one badly as a shooter. Just missed on a sale due to technical problems on the other end. But I'd buy one. Need's a separate cilyndre for .45. The clips to allow shooting .45 ACP would be cheaper. Can you do Both? | |||

Two cylinders are needed. One, a .455 and another a cylinder that will accommodate at .45 ACP with half moon clips. That's the historical value of the firearm. | |||

I would avoid 45ACP rounds as they are too hot for the Webley. Instead load 45 Auto Rim loaded to 455 velocities. USN (ret) DRSS Verney-Carron 450NE Cogswell & Harrison 375 Fl NE Sabatti Big Five 375 FL Magnum NE DSC Life Member NRA Life Member | |||

I treasure my old Mk. IV....out of some 10-12 handguns this is one of the most fun to shoot.. Supposedly the best combat revolver ever.. | |||

I have an original "Webley", well actually it is a MkVI Enfield, dated 1926. These are supposed to be the strongest of the Webley design. Mine has been converted to 45 ACP. It shoots as good as a S&W. I have shot this Enfield quite a bit. It is a very well made well designed Combat Revolver. If in a remote area and I could not get a good 1911,I would not hesitate to use a "Webley". DOUBLE RIFLE SHOOTERS SOCIETY | |||

Aren't they terribly inaccurate and flimsy? | |||

They look to be HEAVY also? | |||

Note: If you are in the US be sure it is importable before sending your deposit as many models of the Webley will not pass the hammer drop test as required by the 1968 law. As a side note the Colt SAA will also not pass the drop test. Ken DRSS, PP Chapter Life NRA Life SCI Life DSC | |||

How does Uberti get their SAA reproductions into the US then? I've read that they are almost exact duplicates of the originals. =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+= DRSS; NRA; Illinois State Rifle Association; Missouri Sport Shooting Association “One of the sad signs of our times is that we have demonized those who produce, subsidized those who refuse to produce, and canonized those who complain.” – Thomas Sowell, “The Vision Of The Anointed: Self-Congratulation As A Basis For Social Policy” . | |||

I would assume that they pass the hammer drop test, the org Colt will not. Many years ago I found some 1st & 2nd generation Colts in Europe, ATF denied my request. Ken DRSS, PP Chapter Life NRA Life SCI Life DSC | |||

Norsk, I thought the same as you. However after owning one I must say that the Webley/Enfield is a pretty good piece of Kit. I have been impressed with it. I would not hesitate to protect my life with the one I have. DOUBLE RIFLE SHOOTERS SOCIETY | |||
