This video provides a detailed historical overview of the Webley No. 5 Express New Army revolver, introduced in 1878. It was a scaled-up and ruggedized version of the popular No. 5 RIC revolvers, designed to handle a wider range of cartridges including British service rounds and the American .45 Colt. Despite its robust design and double-action capability, it lost out on a military contract to the Enfield MkI. However, it found favor among British officers and was sold through the Army & Navy CSL catalog. Its production run was relatively brief, as newer technologies and designs like the top-break Webley MkI quickly made it obsolete, though it represented a compelling option for about a decade.

This video provides an in-depth analysis of the Enfield MkII revolver, a successor to the MkI. Adopted in 1882, the MkII aimed to address issues and reduce costs of its predecessor. Key improvements included a new MkIII cartridge with a heeled .477” bullet for better accuracy and to prevent live rounds from shifting during ejection, a more simplified design to lower production costs, and several mechanical changes for enhanced safety and functionality, such as a hammer block safety. Despite its improvements, the MkII was eventually replaced by the Webley MkI in 1887. The video highlights the historical context and technical specifications of this British service revolver.
