*Firing the large .455 Webley cartridge, Webley service revolvers are among the most powerful top-break revolvers ever produced. The .455 Webley cartridge is no longer in military service, but the smaller caliber .38/200 Webley Mk IV variant is still in use as a police sidearm in a number of countries. With a modified, "shaved" cylinder and the use of a half moon clip, the Webley Mk VI can fire the American .45 ACP cartridge, although standard pressure .45 ACP cartridges exceed Webley proof loads, so only low-power hand loads are recommended. | *Firing the large .455 Webley cartridge, Webley service revolvers are among the most powerful top-break revolvers ever produced.
