This video delves into the "Expert" Auto-Ejector system, patented by Silver and Fletcher in 1884 and integrated into approximately 350 Webley New Model RIC revolvers. The system offered a faster method of unloading compared to traditional ejector rods, allowing for rapid expulsion of spent casings by pulling the trigger multiple times. A notable safety feature, a firing pin retraction mechanism, is also highlighted. The revolvers were sold to law enforcement agencies like the Royal Irish Constabulary and Metropolitan London Police, and lack standard Webley markings, instead bearing serial numbers specific to Webley and Silver & Fletcher.
