Really interesting pistol. I have seen very few for sale.
Interesting side note. Colt made some 1911's modified for that .455 automatic pistol ammo.They where sent to the English in WW1 and used all the way to WW2.
Apparently you can shoot the .455 cartridge or the .45 ACP cartridge in the 1911's,but don't try shooting the .45 ACP in the Webley-Scot! It is to powerful and will crack the frame.
Ouch!
