Rainy Day Webley (antique)

Webley MK1 (still legal to purchase) with light smokeless reloads. There are still a few fun guns to be had while things get better for us shooters my friends. We got this ✌️

Cap and ball is way more cost effective though. Sure most antique cartridges are cheap to load and you can shoot more rounds at the range, but you don't need a reloading press, dies, case trimmer, tumbler etc to load a percussion revolver.

Honestly not bad for a “handgun” these days. I’m from the states, and man the only thing America does better is gun laws 😂

Heck no lol. I do know in the states you can legally convert colts to shoot cartridges. Can you do that here?

Oh dang. If I could find one that could be converted to .45 ACP that may be worth the buy. Who knows when the freeze gets lifted

I’m blanking on the actual model, but I’d love to have the Colt they use in supernatural

Mine is indeed converted to .45 acp. That said, you do have to reload for it as factory .45acp has too much pressure for said firearm
