Any Webley Fans

Anybody out there a fan of the Webley? I don't see any postings for it. I finally got my Mk VI a month ago. It's actually one of the Enfield Mk VI models manufactured in 1925. Apparently Enfield took over manufacturing the Mk VI for a few years (1923-1927) until the No. 2 Mk I (38/200) was introduced.

It's in great condition both in terms of the finish and the mechanical condition. Unfortunately it is one of the 45 acp conversions. So I've taken to loading 45 loads with 5.5 grains of powder. The loads is basically the same as the old 455 Mk II loading.

Anyway just wondering. It's a great revolver. Makes me feel like Michael Caine in Zulu. Even if the movie wasn't correct to have him carrying the Mk VI so what?

The Mk VI has alwasy been one of my "holy grails" and I'm real happy to have finally found one. They aren't real common anymore.
