Section 8: Handguns Subject: Webley Mk IV Msg# 1159469

I disagree, because the Webley is not terribly shootable with all that entails. The sights are not great, the grip and feel isn't very good...
All true, but are we just quibbling over "viable" rather than "desirable"? ... and while the bullets are heavy they are very low velocity, meaning the cartridge (.38S&W) has little power. And here I confess that I automatically think .455 when I hear Webley. That would be the Mark VI, not the Mark IV, so your point is taken. Stu |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: In that light, the Webley, with its big, punkin-roller bullets, is a viable defense weapon - if you don't mind its size, weight and aesthetic shortcomings. I disagree, because the Webley is not terribly shootable with all that entails. The sights are not great, the grip and feel isn't very good, and while the bullets are heavy they are very low velocity, meaning the cartridge (.38S&W) has little power. |
