How to tell if a Webley revolver has been modified

Many Webleys have had their cylinders trimmed a few millimeters to accept the commonly available 45acp rounds using moon clips.

If you have a modified Webley, it is usually recommended to shoot light-powered loads, especially if it’s a black powder gun like this one. In this short video, I show what an altered gun looks like, and what to look for if you’re shopping at a gun show or gun store.
