    nice pistol,as a matter of interest to me,what is the length of the grip on the straight grip senior?I'm used to shooting the wood grip mk 1s but the grip is a finger short to be ideal,my little finger has to go below the bottom of the grip.from the bottom of the compression tube to the bottom of the handle is 3" on the mk 1.

    Very nice,
    My beloved early straight grip mk1 also has the PAPE NEWCASTLE stamp.

    Cheers,
    Matt

    I must say after shooting it today for the first as this is my first straight grip senior I found the trigger exceptional,very light and crisp compared to any of my slant grip seniors

    Not sure if all straight grips are the same or it's just a well worn one that works better

    Senior triggers can vary in my experience, but mine s as light and crisp as you could wish for. Average result at 10 metres using single handed precision hold.

    Yes my other 9 slant grip in pre and post war all have different triggers,the ones that are almost unused are very stiff but even the more used ones don't come close to the straight grip trigger

    Nice shooting BTW

    Not really a pistol fan, but I prefer the straight grip Webleys
