Webley revolver forum?

cjwils · January 1, 2025, 08:06 PM

Greetings: I am interested in old Webley revolvers, but I know little about them and don't own one yet. Can someone tell me the best online forum for Webley revolver information.

My google search found Webley Owners Club, but it seems to be only about modern air guns. Didn't find any other forum specifically for old Webley revolvers.

Thanks.

There's a British Military Handguns subforum here that may suit you:

Suggested reading: Webley Revolvers: Revised from William Chipchase Dowell's The Webley Story by Gordon Bruce and Christian Reinhart.

We've a few Webley threads here that aren't too old either.

Too bad the OP in the following thread never shared the video:

Just learned there's another book, The Webley Solid Frame Revolver by Jones. I'll have to check it out.

Got my copy of above from ThriftBooks today. Packaging was just a plastic baag which allowed the goons of USPS to bash up and bump it up. Thanks USPS but at least you didn't misdeliver it like you did EIGHT (8) other packages.

No surprise but the book covers the solid frame (no break open) Webley revolvers. Like the Colt SAA, it has a loading gate on the right hand side.

ETA: The Western flick, Blackthorn, has a Webley (break open) revolver in it.
