#Prideaux

Using my new (old) Prideaux Cartridge Packet Holder for the rimmed .455 Webley line of revolvers. Unfortunately, I picked this one up without a handle, but fortunately, a friend fabricated one for me! Thanks S!

That looks so much smoother and easier to use than many of the speed loaders out today.

[@jameson7276]

Cheaper also

[@Ben_not_10]

I think the Safariland speedloaders are a spiritual ancestor mainly because they have that internal release so all you have to do is just press firmly and it drops the cartridges automatically. The HKS speed loaders require you to release the cartridges manually by turning the locking knob.

[@mohammedcohen]

...hell yeah...

[@taofledermaus]

That is really cool.

[@syntheacrete3957]

I'd actually love to see a speed comparison between the Prideaux loader and modern speedloaders. For science and totally not because I want more content with these wonderful things

[@herrskeletal3994]

Speed loading the Speed Revolver

[@eisenkrieg553]

I wish modern top breaks existed. Absolutely would love something in .38 special or .327. And that speed loader is seriously cool.

[@johndaniels1197]

A modern top break with, say, eight rounds of .327 Federal and cut for moon clips, sounds fantastic.

[@Kevin-fj5oe]

@@johndaniels1197 anderson wheeler makes .357 webley, only cost around $10,000

[@iconofsin5886]

Top break actions are quite weak. That hinge will blow the top open with high pressure/magnum cartridges. Unless a stronger, much, betterly designed locking mechanism can be devised, then we are going to wait a while for someone to make one and put it in a revolver.

[@EricDaMAJ]

They are for .357 magnum and .44 magnum. But .38 Special and .327 magnum should be manageable if not loaded too hot. I have a replica Schofield in .45 Long Colt that works just fine.

[@thatonigod]

You can get a Schofield no 2 From Uberti replicas

[@CaptainGrief66]

The steampunk combo, automatic revolver and a cool brass speed loader, man I love this so much, nice collection you have there

[@dexaphobia8085]

Dang that’s some good shooting, truly a gun from a more civilized age

[@mezzanoon]

My dream gun! Absolutely adore the Webley-Fosbery, could watch it eject all day

[@maewinchester2030]

This I've been waiting for! Edit:. And damn, that loading, so slick!

[@robinclark5548]

THANK YOU FOR THIS REFERENCE!

[@alans3023]

That speed loader is seriously fast (and simpler to use than modern ones). This top break, auto eject mechanism in a modern revolver (with a Prideaux style speed loader) would be an interesting carry weapon for people who prefer revolvers to semi-autos.

[@GonzoTheRosarian]

Best speed loader I have ever seen!

[@johntriplett4470]

How do I get a world of Webley aficionados to hate themselves for a good solid week? Well, let’s see: I have a Fosbery AND a Prideaux loader; a nice long, well-detailed video showing use and shooting should do the trick. But seriously, I’m enjoying the depression. Excellent exhibition video of a fine pair made in shooting heaven.

[@syntheacrete3957]

Ngl, ever since learning about the Prideaux speed loader I've been obsessed and am rearing for the day I can afford commissioning someone to make a bunch of them for me. Functions so much cooler and intuitively than modern speed loaders AND is a unique piece of WWI history! Wonder if they could be made for larger calibers and still retain their function...

[@123asap6]

In theory they can work. However the main gripe with that might be when you start to get into magnum territory where the longer cartridges would require a longer prong which makes for a bulkier speed loader. However for the shorter stuff like 38 spl (especially the micro HST) i can really see how a modernized pirdeaux would be an attractive option compared to the other speedloaders

[@jabaier2]

Love the first-person view!

[@dieselten01]

That is just too cool! Your vids are some of the best out there. I love the slow mo’s! Thank you!

[@tberkoff]

Wow! That speed loader works better than modern loaders! Where did you find multiple ones??

[@PhoenixPhart]

Yeah! I wish there were modern reproductions for .38 cal! As for multiple.. I only have one of these 😔

[@krisswegemer1163]

Somebody should make a modern copy of both the revolver and the speed loaders. I wouldn't be able to stop myself from buying that setup.

[@Russianpaintrain]

Never seen one in action , absolutely well done ,

[@mohammedcohen]

...that's bloody clever!!! I'd love to see a modern iteraton of this speedloader!!!

[@TheGrenadier97]

Break-action, automatic with a nice speedloader: extremely cool and classy.

[@brentchambers511]

Fantastic video work!

[@noahbianchi1920]

All that because the arms manual said a sidearm must be a “revolver”. I’ve heard elderly British people in interviews looking at Mauser C96 Broomhandles and calling it a “revolver”. I think revolver is as synonymous with handgun to them. Very cool piece though, I’d love to shoot one.

[@fabiovalerio4923]

Absolutely magnificent✨

[@Mossy500A]

These Webleys need to make a comeback.

[@guaporeturns9472]

My Holy Grail of revolvers. Want one so bad.

[@ch319ris]

I’ve always wanted one of these.

[@warmachine_1396]

Love it!

[@OrbvsTomarvm]

beautiful gun.

[@merlemorrison482]

Nice!

[@johnhauser8494]

The auto webleys are so beautiful

[@octomondo5270]

Nice vid, simple!

[@Momo_Kawashima]

I'm not much of a fan of owning guns, but honestly I'd love a webley-fosbery. It's a bloody semi-automatic revolver, I mean

[@annierenard5954]

SUPER !!!!!!!!!!!

[@soi340]

I know this gun is sexy but I didn't know that that speed loader sexy too either.

[@mohamadmansor2279]

Good hold power palm u have accurer shooting good zeroing

[@wildboyzzzz]

Revolver owners will see that every shot counts

[@Lulzmango]

Wait I'm confused I wasn't told to like, comment, and subscribe What do I do Where do I go What do I post 👌🏿👌🏾👌🏽👌🏼👌🏻👌 Would ancient speedloader again

[@_perseus_]

[@bablumaurya1178]

Süper Oleeey Harika 👍👍👍

[@perarduaadastra873]

Between what years was the Prideaux speed loader made and in what quantity?

[@gozori5161]

Greetings! Where did you get this thing, if it's not a secret?

[@oolooo]

May hate it for being over represented in media (They added it over the actual Weblry Mk. VI in Battlefield 1 at launch and that took over the spot for a swing-out cylinder revolver) but it is real pretty

[@schmit6576]

Yo bro is that a fully semi automatic wheely gat, with extended speed loading capabilities?

[@perarduaadastra873]

Fancy trying my 454 Casull Mateba? 😎

[@MB-nn3jw]

Hello, where did you acquire the Prideaux? Is it original or a repro? I would be keen to purchase one for myself. Thanks. M.

[@jeffadams9807]

Everyone With Revolvers Should Check BEE-Z Speed loaders...

[@TheFlatEarthChannelcom]

I need one! You selling it? How much? It so. Have the same exact rounds. Need it for my 455 Webley

[@rtkiki8058]

Cual es el mejor revolver

[@user-uj8wq8hj2x]

357マグナムでスイングアウト改良して、再販して欲しい!

[@lptomtom]

Is that Fiocchi ammo? .455 is so expensive...

[@PhoenixPhart]

Yup, all Fiocchi. I'd love it if we can get PPU to make .455 ammo too

[@nhu966]

Tôi muốn mua

[@dalepatten5612]

It's too bad that the Pakistani made copies of these never got very far. Wonder what ever happened to them?
