Webley Disease....Highly contagious

[Abasmajor]

Although there is no evidence to suggest air pistols were ever officially used as firearms trainers, the rearward movement of the Webley piston does provide an admittedly small recoil component. I would say that shooting a Webley Senior provides a similar recoil characteristic to a .22 rimfire pistol and of course emphasises the importance of follow through in developing ones shooting technique.

In the blued pistol era the Webley was the pistol to beat. Andrew Lawrence studied all the prewar pistols in the development of the Hy-score. He took the most from the Webley. The rearward traveling spring is key to a normal feeling pistol recoil. He used the same with the Hy-score. I love my Haenel 28s because of the look and brilliant machining but as a shooter the Webley is far more accurate and is compact and feels the most like my 22 pistols.
