The Webley Revolver (also known as the Webley Top-Break Revolver or Webley Self-Extracting Revolver) was, a standard issue service revolver for the armed forces of the United Kingdom, and countries of the British Empire, from 1887 to 1963.
The Webley is a top-break revolver and breaking the revolver operates the extractor, which removes cartridges from the cylinder. The Webley Mk I service revolver was adopted in 1887 and the Mk IV rose to prominence during the Boer War of 1899–1902. The Mk VI was introduced in 1915, during wartime, and is the best-known model.
Firing large .455 Webley cartridges, Webley service revolvers are among the most powerful top-break revolvers produced. The .455 caliber Webley is no longer in military service. As of 1999.
