Webley 1905

This video focuses on the Webley 1905 pistol, an early pocket automatic designed by engineer William Whiting. It details the pistol's development from the larger, unsuccessful Model 1904 military project, highlighting the shift to the civilian market with a .32 ACP chambering. The description emphasizes the 1905 as a precursor to the more popular Model 1908 and discusses the scarcity of the earlier model, making it an interesting subject for examining design evolution and historical context within Webley's self-loading pistol lineage.
