LOVE 'EM
I've just added another two to the collection this weekend (and an Airsporter, just to balance it out a bit).

I once nipped my leg while cocking a long barreled (?) Wobbly pistol.
Lets us stand, back-to-back, and defend ourselves from the rose tinted, 'Ah....... but its a Webley' brigade.
Ive owned a couple but soon got rid of them for something better - which wasn't difficult.

For no real reason I have always had an aversion to Webley pistols but now that maybe changing. There is something definatley Victorian in their build style and quality and many times I have heard
"To me they are the nearest thing to shooting handguns pre ban"
I think it is time to rethink my position on this especially after hearing about the exploits of GGGR and
"a sip of wine"
That sip is usually 2 bottles!
Pure gasworks charm. I love them.

And gravity won't pull you through
I like the "Gasworks charm" very steampunk...only a matter of time before they appear in a novel or a film...?

You have to look closely, one does appear in "Goldfinger", it's dressed up a little and is masquerading as a tranquiliser gun, the gun that they shoot Bond with just after he's talked his way out of bisection by laser. A grappling hook gun made for the original ALIEN film was also based on a Webley Junior, it was attached to one of the spacesuits worn by the child actors playing the crew as they explored the derelict alien ship.
