    I used to have (pre UK Pistol ban) a very similar revolver - an 1886 "WG". The main difference it that it had the "Stirrup Catch" rather than the two levers. Way more advanced than the revolvers we have today, though modern ergonomics a much better! Field stripping takes 2/3 seconds and it would happily shoot any UK service 45/455/476 cartridge, mine was also happy with 45 Long Colt (at original pressures!)

    • @JD-tn5lz
      @JD-tn5lz 2 місяці тому +1

      Doubtful that a top break system would be a good thing with the higher pressures of .357 or .44mag.
      Hard telling, you'd have to ask an engineer.
      Or maybe top break is more expensive than swing-out.
      Or just that it offers no real advantage and hence no additional market appeal compared to swing-out.
      The top break is quaint. Cute.
      That's about it.

      @@JD-tn5lz Apparently a company called Anderson-Wheeler once made a Webley Mk VII chambered in .357 Magnum, but I can't really find anything much about it other than it once existed. The only top-break revolvers currently in production that I know of are the Uberti Schofield repro (.38 spl, .44-40, .45 Colt, .45 Schofield), an Indian-made version of a Webley Mk IV chambered in .32 S&W Long, and the NAA Ranger II in .22 LR and .22 WMR.
