      The commercial version, known as the Webley Bulldog, was apparently used in the assassination of a number of presidents of South American banana republics, probably exactly because it was concealable and packed a punch.

      ​@@JeffEbe-te2xsMost defensive shootings involve no more than 3 rounds being fired. 4 isn't uncommon. 5 happens but is rare. 6 is very rare. 7+ is almost unheard of.
      When you get into the realm of 6+ shots being fired, it's likely at least some of them were legally questionable.

    The 455 Webley cartridge was regarded by many as a “man stopper” round, and is barely comfortable to shoot in the massive Webley revolver. In that short barreled “pocket” version of the RIC, it is something you don’t want to fire until you absolutely have to.

    • @scottrobinson3281
      @scottrobinson3281 3 місяці тому

      Actually, a 28-bore smoothbore, 5-shot revolver with a bigger grip and a bit more room behind the trigger guard _might_ be a useful "barn carry" in case there's a varmint, but I really doubt it'd be at all pleasant to use. 40-bore, maybe. .488 inch, roughly 275 grain, it'd do for snakes and rats. 28 or 20 might actually suck.

    The “RIC” stands for “ Royal Irish Constabulary”. The pistols were made by Webley and Scott, Birmingham, England, for the police in Ireland, the whole of which, at the time was under British rule. The “Black and Tans” as they were known were hated by the Irish population, and they existed from 1822 to 1922.

    RIC, Royal Irish Constabulary.... they were the unliked police force of ireland during the 19th and early 20th century, they were frequently attacked by the IRA, and many of its members killed, they were no match for the IRA and had to rely on the british auxiliaries ( British army) in order for them to travel around the country. Later the Black and Tans came to Ireland, these were ex British soilders who had fought in WW1 and committed many atrocities against the Irish people. There name came from there mix of British army and RIC uniforms. Black trousers and tan tunic, there was no real accountability for them and they would frequently murder civilians and terrorise the community at large.
