And they have made it the Mark VI! Not the horrible little .38. Oh Joy, Oh splendidness.
At last I will be able to post on facebook -
'This afternoon - a simple meal of roast pork followed by an open jam tart, then post-prandial revolver practice.'
I hope it is powerful enough to smash beer-bottles, the Webley Service Revolver target of choice.
And I have got a trip to Scotia planned for September. Excellent!

On a less gentlemanly note, I have just come in my pants.

Superb!
I suppose a correct leather holster will be required (and probably cost more than the pistol).
A rough cord lanyard should also be fashioned, I dare say...

Ooo, now I want one myself!

You'll need a copy of 'Revolver Shooting In War' by Captain Charles D.Tracey, 1916.
He eschews the lanyard as a dangerous piece of kit, and recommends the re-positioning of the holster to the thigh, in the so-called 'cowboys' style, rather than the cross-draw Sam Brown which looks smart but is no good when a raiding party drops into your trench whilst you are absorbed in Emily's latest letter from home.
There is even a scarey bit at the end letting you know how to fight with a revolver when the ammuniton gives out. It's not Hollywood and it's not nice at all.

I just had to check that handbook exists - and it does! But I fear it won't be easy to find a copy.
I only need to know two things about this "new" Webley: Is it loud enough to scare a tiger? And where can I buy one??

I found it on the webley and scott facebook page, where it has some nice HD photos and all the spec listed.

It's a shame Webley didn't make the 1873 SAA,maybe then we'd be getting one of those too!

I was given the chance to handle this new CO2 revolver at the CLA Game Fair. It is a very faithful reproduction including the correct markings.
I've got a certificate!
I'm probably going to regret this (as I too, am having serious yearnings), but BAR posted on their FB page about it last week, saying they've "ordered a big lump of them as these things are going to fly out" - £199 retail

That looks great, I just hope it doesn't have 'made in Turkey' stamped onto the barrel!
If it is made abroad lets hope they have omitted to mark the gun up as such.

I hope it's made from something more substantial than plastic and/or monkey metal,though unlikely I suppose!
