Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Webley Revolver (also known as the Webley Top-Break Revolver or Webley Self-Extracting Revolver) was, in various designations, a standard issue service pistol for the armed forces of the United Kingdom, and countries of the British Empire and the Commonwealth of Nations, from 1887 to 1970. The Webley is a top-break revolver and breaking the revolver operates the extractor, which removes cartridges from the cylinder.
The Webley Mk I service revolver was first adopted in 1887. During the Boer War of 1899-1902, the Mk IV became popular. The Mk VI, which is the most well-known model, was introduced in 1915 during the war. Webley service revolvers, which fire large .455 Webley cartridges, are among the most powerful top-break revolvers ever produced. A large number of Webley Mark VI pistols were altered by shaving the cylinder size to accommodate a more potent .45 ACP cartridge with moon clips, as it was much stronger. As of 1999, the .38/200 Webley Mk IV model was still being used as a police sidearm in several countries.
The standard-issue Webley revolver at the outbreak of the First World War was the Webley Mk V (adopted 9 December 1913), but there were considerably more Mk IV revolvers in service in 1914, as the initial order for 20,000 Mk V revolvers had not been completed when hostilities began. They were issued first to officers, pipers, and range takers and later to airmen, naval crews, boarding parties, trench raiders, machine-gun teams, and tank crews. They were then issued to many Allied soldiers as a sidearm. The Mk VI proved to be a very reliable and hardy weapon, well suited to the mud and adverse conditions of trench warfare, and several accessories were developed for the Mk VI, including a bayonet (made from a converted French Gras bayonet), speedloader devices (the "Prideaux Device" and the Watson design) and a stock allowing for the revolver to be converted into a carbine.
