This was the tool for self-defense when Espionage took an ugly turn..

This was never meant for sporting the male-factor..But has always surprised those who mistook me for being unarmed.

0.25 is a good calibre for concealed carry.

My father used to carry 0.25 colt pistol, used to jam frequently, so he switched to webley mk iv 0.32 rev.
Got it from lucknow dealer ( national arms) before '86

It is a rare and costly antique used by the villain Emilio Largo in James Bond Movie "Thunderball".

Awesome!! Webley mk iv 0.32 rev is a status symbol to have. The gun metal used in IOF 0.32 mkiii is still waste compared to Webley. How much did you pay for Webley ? I am hunting for one

You may fault their workmanship but there is nothing wrong with the steel that they use.But then it is not a status symbol. :wink:

.25 is not a good ccw calibre.it less stopping power than smaller .22,which has more penetrating power than .25.but then something is better than nothing.neat weapon.

:agree: At point blank range one doesn't care for the projectile trajectory. That is what CCW are meant for. But i must say that i do have to take care of the cleaning part because it jams at times.
