Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The British Army switched over from the massive .455 Webley to the smaller 38/200 (.38 S&W) in 1922 as the result of experiences gained in World War One. Midway through the war, what was left of the professional core of the enlisted British Army had been wiped out. Replacements had to be trained quickly and the heavy recoil of the .455 was detrimental to that effort. In the event of another war, the British Army felt that a smaller caliber would make training new officers easier. In tests the British came to the conclusion that a 200 grain slug, fired at a low velocity tended to tumble and fragment when it hit a target. It also minimized over-penetration, and transferred more energy onto the target. Best of all, it had minimal recoil.

The size of the Mk. IV-38 is comparable to other service pistols of the time. Some examples will be marked “WAR FINISH”, as Webley didn’t have enough time to perfectly finish the metal or polish some parts. The cylinder retaining cam, latch, and cam lever are all exposed, distinguishing the Webley, and the shape and contour of the barrel help to give it a bit of a steampunk look. The grips are black plastic and emblazoned with the manufacturer’s name. The metal is blued. Milling marks are especially evident on top of the barrel.

It’s not a pistol with a 33-round magazine, but it doesn’t have to be. It’s a historical classic, a revolver seeped in history that proved itself on the battlefield. Its looks and manual-of-arms help it to stand out from the rest.
