Webleys

trigger643 · 02-25-2006, 09:33 AM

I owned a webley in .455 several years ago and thought very highly of it. The only downside is feeding. Ammo was always an issue and when Northridge Arms ran out I sold mine because I couldn't feed it. As recently as last winter I came across a box of .455 at Gunsmoke Arms here in Denver and nearly bought it out of habit. Ed, I believe many of these were brought in by Navy Arms and converted to .45 ACP in the 80's. Several other importers as I recall also converted them to .45 ACP. -- certainly not a bad thing as .455 is almost impossible to find anymore.
