I beg to differ with you. The British built one on a Webley-Fosbery frame. You can see Sean Connery use it in ZARDOZ.
The Maltese Falcon, too:
Bogart: Thanks, Tom. What happened?
Ward Bond: Got him right through the pump with this.
Bogart: It's a Webley.
Ward Bond: English, ain't it?
Bogart: A Webley-Fosbery .45 automatic, 8-shot. They don't make 'em anymore.
