About this product

Product Information

The Webley .455in service revolver is among the most powerful top-break revolvers ever produced. First adopted in 1887, in various marques it was the standard-issue service pistol for British and Commonwealth armed forces for nearly fifty years; later versions in .38in calibre went on to see further service in World War II and beyond, as well as in a host of law-enforcement roles around the world into the 1970s. Developed to give British service personnel the ability to incapacitate their opponents in 'small wars' around the globe, the Webley used the formidable - and controversial - .455in cartridge, a variant of which was known as the 'manstopper'. Users found it offered good penetration and excellent stopping power with only mild recoil - indeed, it was rated superior to the US .45 Colt in stopping power. Featuring specially commissioned full-colour artwork and close-up photographs, this is the compelling story of the Webley revolver, the powerful pistol that saw service across the British Empire and throughout two world wars.

    • Useful historical guide.

      This is a handy guide to this famous family of service revolvers. To say the content is compelling is to overstate things but it is well written and produced. A slim volume with only 80 pages, it nontheless contains a wealth of useful information and a healthy number of high quality photographs of weapons and accessories, some of which I have never seen before, that are in the author's posession. The book gives a brief outline of handguns in the government service prior to the introduction of the metallic cartridge and then a fuller exploration of the history of the famous family of Webley hinge frame revolvers, from the .455 Mks I to VI and their variants, to the .38 MkIV of the Second World War and was the last of the service revolvers lasting through to the introduction of the 9mm ...
