This video appears to be an outtake or behind-the-scenes clip from a firearms-focused channel, likely Forgotten Weapons. The title indicates a focus on testing or demonstrating Webley ammunition in a 1911 pistol. The mention of 'shaved' suggests a modification or fitting process might be involved. Given the context of Forgotten Weapons, the content is expected to be historically informative regarding firearms and ammunition.
This video from Brownells Gun Techs Steve Ostrem and Keith Ford showcases a beautifully preserved Webley-Fosbery Automatic Revolver in .455 Webley, sourced from Rock Island Auctions. They highlight its rarity, noting it's a highly coveted piece by collectors, even more so than custom Colt Single Action Armies or Smith & Wesson Triple Locks. The video demonstrates the unique operation of the Webley-Fosbery, which doesn't require thumbing the hammer or pulling a double-action trigger. Developed around 1900 by Lt. Col. George Fosbery and manufactured by Webley & Scott, it was privately purchased by many British officers despite never being formally adopted by the military. The rarity is emphasized by the fact that only about 4,000 were made, and examples in good condition can fetch significant prices.
