This video explores the Prideaux Loader, an early accessory designed to speed up the reloading process for .455 Webley revolvers. Developed as early as 1893, its widespread adoption was delayed until World War I, when individual officers began purchasing them for trench warfare. The loader gained enough traction to be formally adopted by the British military in October 1918, though procurement occurred after the war's conclusion. Surviving military examples are typically dated 1919. The video likely delves into the history, function, and significance of this historical reloading aid in the context of early 20th-century firearms.
