Thanx.
Bought it back in the 77 new.
Shot plenty of rounds thru it but haven't had it outta the safe in about 25 yrs.
Gonna have to give it some range time.

Yea some nice wheel guns there Papa. I will keep you in mind if I decide to part with the mod14.
Here is my mod60 and Colt Diamondback, I do have the original wood grips for it also.
The 60 was my first handgun and has seen many many hours of carry time over 37 years.

Yes the Singapore Police Force Webley is a nice one. If you compare it with the Webley Mk IV without the cross bolt safety, then you can see that although listed as a Mk IV, it is very close to the commercial Webley Mk III in 380/200, the "hump" at the rear of the frame is quite diagnostic.
I can see that I will have to take a few photos and upload them of Webley Mk VIs and their Enfield cousins (Enfield made ~26,000 Mk VI in 0.455 from 1920-26) both cut for 0.45 ACP and uncut, still 0.455. Great fun to shoot as I reload both 0.455 and a corresponding velocity round in 45AR cases for the cut versions, plus a 38 SW with a 180 grain bullet for the WWII Enfields and Webleys, plus a number of SW 1905s in the same 380/200 loadings.
