I am favourably impressed with the Webley .455 from an engineering standpoint. Maybe because we lived in England for a time and I saw more of them at gunshows. I think they can be reworked to accomodate the .45 ACP with 1/2 moon clips. I can only surmise that their lack of popularity is due to their less than sleek appearance, even compared to the Colt and S&W 1917s, ammo limitations, and American's unfamiliarity with their use and history.
