Ring attached to grip.

Post by amitgzb » Mon Sep 03, 2012 12:14 am

Dear IFGians

I want to know that the ring attached to to the grip of Webley revolvers have
something to do with mechanism as one of my friend have losted his ring and
when he showed his revolver to a dealer he tell him that it is risky to carry a
webley revolver without that ring.

Regards,Amit

Not as long as he is not running with the revolver in an open-topped holster. :lol:

amitgzb: That ring is simply there to attach a lanyard, which in turn is attached to the uniform belt. In order to prevent loss of the weapon, and make it harder to grab away from you. It is found on police and military handguns. It has absolutely nothing to do with the mechanism. And your friend shouldn't even have a gun until he becomes better informed. My opinion.
