Perhaps that is the problem, they are to new. just like a new car they run much better when they have a few miles on the clock. nice pair of pistols all the same.
Had these two for a few years, only just got round to doing a proper pellet test & 10yd zero.

According to my notes I struggled to zero them when I first bought them, and coming back to them now it turns out that the triggers were too heavy.
The Mk 1 was an easy fix with it's adjustable trigger, so after a quick service and trigger adjustment it's shooting very nicely and accurately.
I need to lighten the trigger on the senior.... there are a few threads on here about it and I'll be polishing the trigger and sear housings and a very careful polish of the sear and piston collar in due course.
Ironically all my scruffy Webley pistols shoot beautifully, really built to last these things.
I forgot what great pistols these are to work on.
Cheers,
Matt

Lovely looking guns!
I think you’re right. My very well used pre-war slant grip is one of my favourites to shoot, with everything nicely worn in and smooth, and the finish all but worn off....It’s had a good 70 years of running in.
I wonder what the ‘running in’ time on a new Webley must be?
