What's amazing about it? Webley was building reliable double action revolvers from 1860. They were solid frame models which had to be reloaded in the same fashion as single action revolvers. By 1876 patents were issued for the Webley Pryse double action revolver which was a top break design which simplified the reloading issue. In tern they quickly developed speedloader arrangements. Which means that while the 'cowboys' were dicking about with single actions, the Brits were using double action revolvers capable of being quickly reloaded.




Seems to me you should get a Webley then if that's your fancy???

Per this article it was more like in the mid 1870's .. so they probably just copied Smith and Wessons Schofield..

For me what is special?? First they are not butt ass (pun intended) ugly like a Webley.

Secondly, I like them.. Feel good in my hand, accurate and what I prefer. If you prefer otherwise, then follow your heart and do so..
