Webley made a variety of .22 rimfire revolvers and revolver conversions for most of its history. Rimfire conversions were used by the military for reduced-cost training, and they were popular on the civilian market for sport and competition shooting. When Webley introduced its MkIV small-frame revolver, it was available in .38 and .32 caliber, and in 1932 they introduced a factory .22 rimfire model. It was intended specifically for target shooting, with a 6” barrel (the longest standard Webley barrel length) and adjustable sights. Initially it used a stepped cylinder, but this changed to a full-profile design by 1940. The firing pin was redesigned slightly to hit the rim of a cartridge instead of central primer, but the gun is otherwise mechanically the same as a normal .38 MkIV. Production ran until 1967, but relatively small numbers were made and they are fairly rare to find today.

Black powder military rifles of the 1860s-1880s are a really enjoyable group of guns. A lot of them are relatively reasonably priced, and they are actually pretty easy to reload for. The unavailability of factory ammunition (for most, although not so much for the Trapdoor) makes them seem like a ...
