Webley Frame

Post by The Doc » Fri Jun 20, 2008 2:27 pm

Experts/Webley lovers,

1. Are there different size (small or large) frames for Webley .32 cal revolver ?

2. What are the common barrel lengths for a Webley .32 cal revolver ?

3. The dealers keep talking about changing the Webley "grips " from small to large , what is that?

The internet search doesn't reveal much about the .32 cal Webley .


best,

RP.

Replying to point no. 3 only. The grips of the webley are terribly small and tiny; meant for dwarf hands. Many change them to oversize grips. I don't know how it works out cause the frame is still pretty small.

I do have hands on experience with webely revolver as some friends in club has this most common revolver brand in INDIA . In .32 , i had fired 3 inche barrel small frame with small grip and customised upsize grip ,the 4 inche barrel police model is really balanced , revolver with full size grip. These revolvers are break open type with self extraction of empty. These revolvers are no doubt reliable but outdated , heavy and costly . colt or s&w being attractive option, anyway i prefer 2 inche s&w snubby , THIS is purely my preferance and openion .cheers James....
