Former Brit subjects neatly scale down a Webley.

I did not get the caliber? Anyone?

IOF (India Ordnance Factory) makes '32-Bore' civilian revolvers chambered in .32 S&W Long.

Not a completely terrible caliber, aside from that it's from 1896.

Someone said .32 was the caliber.

A Webley is about what I should expect from the same wonderful people who recreated the Enfield motorcycle.

The various spurs, exhaust pipes, antennae, lumps, bumps, and slumps should make this wonderful piece a pure delight to pull outa your sari in a hurry. The front sight alone should occasion many a visit to the trauma center, or dress maker at the very least.

I suggest that the makers of this Webley clone sell it with a webbing belt, canvas holster, Sam Browne Belt, and a lanyard attached to a ring on the butt and looped about the neck. Also, every young lady who goes in harms way should carry at least five of those half-moon loader things, for quicker re-loading in tight situations.

Newsflash, fellow cricketeers: Handgun design has advanced somewhat since 1887 when the Webley was designed. Back to the drawing board. Or maybe a catalog from Biretta, Rossi, Taurus, Glock, or even George Zimmerman's fave, the trusty Keltec!
