It is in 22 short. They had a different perspective as to stopping power back in those days. LOL...

[@fubar5884]

​@@timothymckee7693 I hate to be the "um... actually" guy, but uh, yeah. That "meme" that does the rounds every few years is bullshit. There's still some argument over whether or not any cartridges were ever exchanged for drinks en mass and not just some weird one off. For example: Bill knew the barkeep, barkeep knew Bill was on hard times and as a one-off favor allowed Bill to have a drink for some .45 Colt rounds. I.E. the kinda shit that's real hard to factually prove for researchers. The prices of that era would mean a single shot of whiskey would be about a quarter give or take, which would equal ~10 cartridges per shot of whiskey. Although the reserchers did admittedly make room for the price changing, as the cost of shots would decrease as more of us went West over the years and competition between bars increased. Please folk, stop taking random internet "memes" as concrete truth and use that thing that sits between your ears and verify the info yourself.

Some years back, my grandfather passed down to me his Colt Police Positive in 38S&W (aka 38 Colt New Police). Was his duty weapon on many jobs over the years and the gun is still in fantastic condition. Both the gun and the cartridge are what pushed me to start reloading. The cartridge is very capable and can be loaded all over the board, it's much more versatile than most folks realize, esp in a solid framed revolver like the Police Positive. I absolutely love it, not just for all of the sentimental value that it holds, but the revolver itself is a well made, accurate and fine tuned machine. It's a work of art. I know it sounds cliche, but honestly, they really don't make 'em like they used to. I can't thank my grandfather enough for entrusting me with that revolver. It was his favorite gun and is by far my favorite as well. I'd easily consider it my most valued possession, mainly bc it came from him. God bless you Grandpa, we all miss you!!! 🙏

[@jakubfabisiak9810]

I have a PP in .32 - great little gun. Ironically, since .32 long wadcutters are used in the centerfire target revolvers and pistols (like .22lr is in the rimfire versions), they're easier to find than .38S&W. Although I wish we could get Buffalo Bore over here - they make a nodern .32 load that's got a standard flat-nose bullet (like the old colt new police cartridge), rather than just shooting wadcutters. And, of course, I can go shoot some lapua .32 wadcutters in it if I'm feeling extravagant.

The British military services used what they called the .380/200 from 1932 to the early 1950s. (In the U. S. that cartridge is the .38 S&W.) They loaded it with a 200 grain - dropped it to 176 at some point - at about 600 fps. That loading was used in the U. S. as the .38 Super Police. Worked well, but didn't hold enough rounds to make up for misses.

Glad to see the Webley getting some attention. Actually a fine fighting handgun, tough and reliable. I got my Mk VI in the early '70s for $75. The gunshop guy brought out a shoebox full of those recent imports, all cut for moons and .45ACP to make them more saleable here in the States, and told me to pick one out... Still got that thing. But that wasn't enough for me. Back about 20 years ago I'd shoot mine occasionally in regular USPSA club matches. The eighty-pound DA trigger was but a minor problem back when I was a carpenter with sturdy hands, and I kept at it until I'd actually made "B" classification in the old six-shot Revolver Division. And it was fun watching the ROs go diving backwards when the emptied moonclips came flying out towards them during the reloads. Good times.

All the hating on .38 Special as a woefully inadequate round. . . It was actually, in effect, the first “magnum.” .38 S&W was the round that put the “special” in .38 Special. I inherited one of these British pistols from my uncle, the shop gun in his small-town sporting goods store. The cylinder was way out of time, spitting lead sideways like a boss. I figured it was the cylinder and bought a spare, but the problem turned out to be gunked up internals. (Could have been cosmoline left over from inadequate cleaning out of the box.) With that taken care of, mine is still a bit stiff on double action but all-in-all a comfortable and accurate pistol. Ammunition can be a bit pricey and hard to find.

Sorry, but Webley .38 Mk.IV's were not issued to the British Army until during WW2, and then only as a substitute standard. The standard revolver was the Enfield No.2 Mk.1, 1* and 1**. That one there appears to be a commercial one, and has no military proofs.

One of my favorite handguns. A truly excellent combat revolver which is extremely rugged, easily and quickly reloaded, and seemingly immune to contamination and fouling and general crud. My Mk IV .38-200 is a War Finish version which I found in mint condition with the canvas holster. I've pounded thousands of rounds through it with no noticeable effect .38 S&W brass seems to last indefinitely, and a little powder goes a long way. A hollow base wadcutter for .38 Special with 3.0 grains of Unique works very well for this cartridge, though it will not shoot to the sights of .38-200 caliber guns. But I also recreate the original British 200 grain service load, and that's dead on in both my Webley and S&W Lend Lease Victory Model that went to Australia in 1939. .38 S&W can easily be handloaded to duplicate .38 Special, and I've done it in both guns. The Webley is far more than strong enough for it. But there's really no point. I like the very gentle shooting characteristics and low noise of the original load. You can easily see the big 200 grain slug in flight too at around 600 fps. Which is somehow very pleasing. It's also possible to use black powder cartridges in a Webley if you want to. They were designed to cope with the heavy fouling, and it doesn't slow them down a bit.

[@hessex1899]

I have bumped into a few late-19th century and early 20th century British service arms over the years.

But someone needs to get Jerry on a Webley Fosbery!!!!! Semi auto revolver.

Big like from France 🇫🇷 👍🏽

Jerry just pretends to use sights. He really uses The Force!

Always good when thee goat drops a video

[@WhattAreYouSaying]

It's very cool. I also have a Webley, mine is the WW1 version (MK VI), made in 1916. It would be great to have the WW2 version also.

Great video just one thing the Webley revolver has been around since 1887 and was used by Great Briton and the Commonwealth until 1970.

"Back in the day" I used to go to our screen door grocery store and buy a dime's worth of .22 shorts. It was not an unusual request at the time. Like you said in your video, nobody bought a whole box of anything. 20 ga shotgun shells were 10 cents each. They were paper shells with a roll crimp over a paper over shot wad.

I have a paper shotgun shell with paper wad, they were coated in a light wax to keep them water proof. Also have a pinfire shotgun shell, just the paper hull which isn't loaded, but the primer is unfired.

Would be interesting to know if the patent on this design is open. I love revolvers and having one you could break open like that to load/unload would be sweet. A little surprised they didn't catch on here.

I like top break revolvers, unfortunately they aren't strong enough for really powerful cartridges. But otherwise they are faster to load and unload than than swing out "hand ejector" revolvers. I have an old S&W "Lemon Squeezer" in .38 S&W and a S&W Performance Center #3 Schofield in .45 S&W. I love the guns but shoot them only with light handloads. I am sure the modern made Schofield is of top quality, but I have no need to try to push it's limits. BTW, you can use cast or swaged lead .38 Special/.357 Mag. bullets for loading the .38 S&W. They are .002"-.003" undersized, but they will "bump up" on firing and give suitable plinking/fun shooting accuracy.
