Late post, apologies.
FYI

A 1917 .455 Webley Mk.VI revolver (as issued) won the NT Remembrance Day Military Pistol shoot at Mickett Creek Range in Darwin yesterday.

The course of fire was 10 shots precision at 25m, followed by 10 shots rapid-fire (2x 5 shots in 5 seconds) also at 25m.

There were plenty of Colt 1911 .45s and a few 9mm autos in the mix.
Serious business shooting the big Webley rapid-fire double-action! Arnold Schwarzenegger's trigger-finger might have helped!

Point is, there's plenty of life left in the old originals, provided bore condition is ok, so no more pining for the Anderson Wheeler please!




I would love a .455 Webley vintage revolver in good shooting condition.

Now howcan I get one in South Aust? i.e. a .455 cal revolver or handgun?

How are these justified in other states and territories? In SA anything over .38/9mm is heavily restricted.

I might have to take up handgun metal silhouette target shooting? Six matches at least, or fou?, required for the category of licence. Maybe Action match is also acceptable?

I know from legislation/discussions that the cops only accept them here if the larger bullet is needed to knock over a steel target.

Information requested, gentlemen.
