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.
