Hi. Love your videos, short, sweet, and informative. Lots of interesting older guns, not all the latest plastic fantastic. By the way, it does have import Mark's. Underside of barrel,CAI St Albans, VT. Century Arms
The plastic guns do have their place, but the older ones are so much more interesting and much better looking. Well, most of them anyway. The Webley is a well made gun, but it is a little on the ugly side. :-)
Yep, not the best looking guns for sure. I am more interested in the older guns, steel and wood for me, only own a couple polymer pieces. Thanks for all you do. Keep it up!
Another one of my "bucket list" handguns, Shep! I'd like to have one of those one day and I'd probably even carry it some. I've read that the same .38 S&W cartridge with the 200 grain bullet was sold in the United States as the .38 S&W Special Police, not to be confused with the .38 Special which of course was originally called the .38 S&W Special since S&W developed it. When you think about it, with so many different .38 chamberings floating around back then it's no wonder John M. Browning decided to call the .380 ACP that, instead of .38 ACP Short, which is really what it is.
There have been so many different cartridges over the years I don`t think anyone can actually keep track of them. There was a little difference between 380 Auto and 38 ACP besides case length. The original 38 ACP and 38 Super used a .357 diameter bullet and the 380 and 9mm use a .355. Not sure if there was any difference in case diameter. If there was, probably like the bullet diameter, not enough to matter. But these days you more often find 38 ACP and 38 Super loaded with .355 bullets than the original .357.
Can you fire regular 38 s&w? I have some factory 38 s&w ammo I bought at a dunham's, and have some reloads. I've only shot that caliber in my terrier. Cool looking gun
Sure. The only difference between 38/200 and 38 S&W is the bullet weight. But I don`t think I would try doing it the other way around. I would not try using 38/200 in the little H&R and S&W revolvers that were made in 38 S&W. The 38/200 may have higher pressure levels than the 38 S&W.
Another beauty! Your collection never ceases to amaze. One of these is on my wish list. If I may ask, is your father's Wood Brothers Steam Traction Engine still in the family? Always enjoyed watching the videos of him riding around on it. It was obviously a labor of love.
I would love to have one of those. Also I would really love it if you would make kind of a buyer's guide and what to look for for a shooter's grade shaved 458 model
@@1957Shep That's a shame I've been wanting one for a few years and it seems like the people who know them tell you the thing that everybody knows which is their shaved ones and not shaved ones but they don't tell you how to tell a worn out unsafe one from a safe one. All I want is a shooter grade one that would be safe to use for years and run fine.
Great review good old commonwealth's revolver , make sure you have a cup of earl grey tea and a jerry bake well tart with you when you take it to the range Shep
Not really. Just 38 S&W with a heavy bullet. May have a little higher pressure levels as well. Not even sure you can even get 38/200 ammo in the US. But 38 S&W works just fine in it.
Beautiful pistol , I have the same gun but mine comes with a 5 inch barrel And I don’t have the automatic ejection , i have to push back the ejector by hand, do you have any idea why

No. But it`s not far away. About 40 miles. And in the hands of a couple of guys who have the knowledge and ability to keep it well maintained.
I would love to have one of those. Also I would really love it if you would make kind of a buyer's guide and what to look for for a shooter's grade shaved 458 model
My knowledge of the big bore Webleys is just about zero. I`ve handled a few of them, but never even fired one.

I do have a shooting video with it uploaded, but it doesn`t go live until April 3rd.
@@1957Shep awesome
Nice revolver 🙂👍☕
Thanks.
Thanks for the look
That is a weird caliber.....

I just bought an Enfield can't wait to shoot it.
You should do a video with it sometime.

Take it to your local gunsmith. Sounds like you have at least one broken spring.
How can I know it's original ? there's one I want to buy.. help me please..
Indy carried a Webley
One of the big bore Webleys
