24" and less, a place to discuss all things handgun related, section 7.3. Long barrelled revolvers, long barrelled pistols and section 5. Overseas contributions are more than welcome.

What a cracking looking revolver, I have always had a soft spot for the Webley and Scott and this looks a pleasantly refined reproduction. Now if only they did it as a Black Powder ML version...

Grips and calibre are oh so wrong for a Webley.

IF the .357 had been around at the time I'm sure Webley's would have been so chambered

NICE to see the old stuff coming back into the fold - I'm sure MORE of this WILL happen as CNC & 3D printing technology makes this type of project more cost effective.

Their justification for the changes to the original design were interesting.

Saddler, CNC is a prime example and some superb Mauser actions have been manufactured here in the UK.

Ooh I'd give that cabinet space! My Dad had one in .455 and I hated it but mostly because it looked old, that was twenty plus years ago, funny how age refines us!

Such a shame that something made in the UK can't be enjoyed here. (by us plebs).

You mean a nitro muzzle loader? Which would be cheaper since they are being made from the ground up? A uk legal LBR or a nitro loading example?

If the price is reasonable I might buy one. Anyone seen reviews ?

There is much more meat on the cylinder compared to an original..........
