As ever, endlessly fascinating. Thank you for putting in all the hard work on this oft-neglected but very important facet of history.

Derek Putley

Thanks indeed for this episode. Here in Gloucester (UK), our local Army museum, the Soldiers of Gloucester Museum, has a nice tidy example on display. It belonged to an officer, Lieutenant-Colonel C E K Bagot, who carried it in both WW1 and WW2 during his service with the Gloucestershire Regiment.

I have a soft spot for the less famous Webleys. Thank you for putting all of these videos together. It’s hard to imagine that we haven’t even gotten to WW2 guns yet. Soon, C&R will be the modern Encyclopedia Britannica of Firearms History (but far more in-depth). What a great time to be alive.

Matteo Manino

1:13:47 that's what double barrell big bore pistols are for.

Peter A

You always do a really good job on the Webley pistols. Great job!

kind of impossible to dislike a topbreak. they are just too cool. wished there would be plenty of modern options of them.

I’ve really been enjoying the dive into the convoluted history of revolvers and their different patterns and patents. I think I enjoy the British ones a little more since Birmingham is basically the county next door (it’s not part of a county strictly speaking, it’s England’s second city so it’s it’s own entity). So I’m being a bit biased but it’s nice to see that at one point we really were an important developmental centre for firearms technology even if relatively soon thereafter the public started believing that firearms are sentient murderous objects with evil intent 😫. Keep up the great work I love it all!

They're just too complex to make [not hard per se, just that the design means they'll co$t more to make than a solid-frame design] and since all the pressure is born by the axle, they'll shoot loose long, loooong before a punier solid-frame revolver. They're kind of like a Colt open-top that way, altho' far, far faster to reload! Still kicking myself for not picking up a H&R 999 for cheap back in the '90s when I had the chance... No denying, top-breaks *are* cool!

Just look at it there, lying on the table, eyeing you while it waits for its chance to shoot you while your back is turned... 🙄

Those fire hands or whatever they call ‘em are vicious! I heard a lady on the television say that they’re as heavy as 10 boxes! And she was something to do with the government so she must be a reliable source.

yes but one can hardly compare either todays materials in use nor manufacture machines and tools. think of sw scandium stuff alone. there was a russian baikal topbreak (prototype? proof of concept?) with polymer if I remember right buttugly but again... with todays stuff used? they will beat any side ejectors on reloads I assume. can hardly beat the effectiveness of the motions. --- oh I could kick myself for a bunch of things but rather due to silly laws and my wallet than out of choices.
