Back in the day, hardly anyone could afford a whole box of cartridges. Good to see some things haven’t changed.

Haven't seen a wild Jerry in 6 months, we miss your videos!

“Nobody bought a whole box, they couldn’t afford it “ True today as well!

Some years back, my grandfather passed down to me his Colt Police Positive in 38S&W (aka 38 Colt New Police). Was his duty weapon on many jobs over the years and the gun is still in fantastic condition. Both the gun and the cartridge are what pushed me to start reloading. The cartridge is very capable and can be loaded all over the board, it's much more versatile than most folks realize, esp in a solid framed revolver like the Police Positive. I absolutely love it, not just for all of the sentimental value that it holds, but the revolver itself is a well made, accurate and fine tuned machine. It's a work of art. I know it sounds cliche, but honestly, they really don't make 'em like they used to. I can't thank my grandfather enough for entrusting me with that revolver. It was his favorite gun and is by far my favorite as well. I'd easily consider it my most valued possession, mainly bc it came from him. God bless you Grandpa, we all miss you!!! 🙏

Thanks Jerry. Excellent history lesson and shooting.

Jerry is just as good with a 100 yr pistol or a new Barrett 50, one of the best of our times, and his wife and daughter are not far behind.

Thanks, Jerry, for sharing your knowledge.

My dad had two Webley .455 revolvers, a Mk1 and a Mk6 The lead in the rounds was quite soft and you could Nick it with your thumb nail, he also had some rounds where the bullet head was nickel plated. Both of these guns were issued to him duringWW2 The ammo was often referred to “man stopper” rounds

"If he would not talk to us, he will talk to Webley, Smith and Wesson".

Cool! A neighbor recently showed me his .45 Webley. Original condition (no machined cylinder for moon clips and .45 acp) still has the markings on the grip for each WW2 kill. I was the young Canadian in the squad behind you back in 99 in Cebu.

Mr. Jerry, Thanks for the trip down memory lane! Been about 45 yrs. since l handled a Webley! A friend had one of the .380/200 and the .45 "snubby" with birds head grip. Yeah, it was an ACP conversion, but it still gave a 1917 S&W serious competition DA at close range. Always enjoy your video shares, learn something every time!! Best regards to Miz Lena also, SY, gg

Glad to see the Webley getting some attention. Actually a fine fighting handgun, tough and reliable. I got my Mk VI in the early '70s for $75. The gunshop guy brought out a shoebox full of those recent imports, all cut for moons and .45ACP to make them more saleable here in the States, and told me to pick one out... Still got that thing. But that wasn't enough for me. Back about 20 years ago I'd shoot mine occasionally in regular USPSA club matches. The eighty-pound DA trigger was but a minor problem back when I was a carpenter with sturdy hands, and I kept at it until I'd actually made "B" classification in the old six-shot Revolver Division. And it was fun watching the ROs go diving backwards when the emptied moonclips came flying out towards them during the reloads. Good times.

A Webley Mk. IV in .38 S&W is one of the handguns on my "bucket list" that I still haven't owned yet. If I ever find one at a store, it's going home with me.

Love it. Back in 78 I was issued a 38 SW Webley as an armored truck driver in Johannesburg, South Africa. Nothing outstanding about it, but it shot fine for me for what it was.

I really enjoy when you share stories from your past. Beautiful pistol.

There's an old British army joke about a sergeant instructor explaining the .38" Webley revolver to a class of newly commissioned subalterns,be closed by saying that carrying a revolver was a token of officer status but it was not recommended for shooting an enemy soldier on the basis that it might annoy them to the extent that they take the revolver off you and beat you to death with it .....

Thank you for introducing us to some of the older stuff 👍

Still sending good rounds down range into the target. Very amazing firearm!! Great video Jerry 💯🔥 I'm sure Kay or Lena would have got that bottle cap 🎉😂

I have this exact revolver… one of my favorite revolver designs of all time

Love watching a legend have fun

Great fun! Don’t get hooked on old top breaks, Jerry, or you’ll be wanting S&W #3 and Schofield’s to collect. Hey, we are the same age; do you also wish you’d picked up a .455 MkVI Webley back when they were cheap?😉

Outstanding ole Webley.

Jerry, you are the OG and a national treasure.

Yeh man seeing Miculek firing old pistols is an awesome theme

Old guns are best when they are accompanied by a little color from their times. Jerry adds great color from back in the day. Had never heard about buying rounds priced individually.

My absolute favorite handguyaction.

Old pistols and revolvers are interesting. Educational in terms of history and "why" and fun to shoot. For an old revolver, I have a Webley Mark V (I think that means five) originally in .455 Webley. Looks much like the revolver in the video except bigger.

where are ya jerry ?? its been 7 months. hope you and yours are doing well!!!

Most often antiques are to be admired during static inspection . Often using them demonstrates the glory of the current state of the art.

I think he taught John Wick.

Been waiting for the "Fully semi automatic" mode

A breath of extremely talented fresh air! ✅

I have bumped into a few late-19th century and early 20th century British service arms over the years. All of them have been very well made, with perhaps the only criticism being that they were overbuilt, and accurate compared to their contemporaries. This makes me want to buy a Webley. The Martini actioned BSA target rifles are absolutely spectacular, btw.

Jerry! where did you go??

When getting into a similar type revolver - I was always enamored with the .45 auto rim break-open, for something of that that sort to keep and collect: that is possibly the best of that type. I did have one - yet sold it for a song during the many times when I was oftentimes near destitute; this happens so many times with those of us who do physical labor while trying to earn a living with a huge amount of physical injuries that don't quite meet the total disability requirements to get any money.

Quite a nice piece of history to see one of those revolvers being fired!

My father had a Wembly 45 cal, that looked just like that Wembly but slightly bigger. It was a very good gun on par with any double action pistol of that age.

I have one that I bought a few years back for $150. It's my wife's favorite gun to shoot. It's heavy, and there's not much recoil. Pretty cool to have in the collection.

Absolutely love Webleys😊

Great old gun, wish I had one like that. Actually any top break revolver would be nice lol.

Old revolvers are so cool, thanks. Be great to see you shoot a Webley-Fosbury automatic revolver.

New subscriber from Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦 great channel 👍

I remember my dad saying he got 10 cents per pest, and a box of 22s cost 9 cents. Sounded like heaven for a 12 year old.

One of my favorite handguns. A truly excellent combat revolver which is extremely rugged, easily and quickly reloaded, and seemingly immune to contamination and fouling and general crud. My Mk IV .38-200 is a War Finish version which I found in mint condition with the canvas holster. I've pounded thousands of rounds through it with no noticeable effect .38 S&W brass seems to last indefinitely, and a little powder goes a long way. A hollow base wadcutter for .38 Special with 3.0 grains of Unique works very well for this cartridge, though it will not shoot to the sights of .38-200 caliber guns. But I also recreate the original British 200 grain service load, and that's dead on in both my Webley and S&W Lend Lease Victory Model that went to Australia in 1939. .38 S&W can easily be handloaded to duplicate .38 Special, and I've done it in both guns. The Webley is far more than strong enough for it. But there's really no point. I like the very gentle shooting characteristics and low noise of the original load. You can easily see the big 200 grain slug in flight too at around 600 fps. Which is somehow very pleasing. It's also possible to use black powder cartridges in a Webley if you want to. They were designed to cope with the heavy fouling, and it doesn't slow them down a bit.

As I recall, Sharif Ali was quite enamored with Lt. Lawrence 's Webley at the desert well....

Good to see you back, Jerry.

Looked up the Ivor Johnson motorcycles on line. My God they’re beautiful workmanship. Well worth the price they’ve had invested in them.

Sorry, but Webley .38 Mk.IV's were not issued to the British Army until during WW2, and then only as a substitute standard. The standard revolver was the Enfield No.2 Mk.1, 1* and 1**. That one there appears to be a commercial one, and has no military proofs.

I just love old firearms, so this video warmed my heart

Thanks nice video- gun . I live in the uk . I have the same model with 4” barrel .. unfortunately it’s a deact ☹️. So it is nice for me to see a working specimen.. keep making the videos ... God bless America 👍

Great info thank you

This is in my top dream guns to own. If ai could it'd be in 45 colt. What a lovely revolver.

I worked at a hardware store in 1981 that sold ammo by the cartridge. We had customer that came in and checked his guns with me while he shopped. He carried an old 1911 and a snub nose 38.

I’ve always wondered why someone doesn’t make a new top break, using modern materials that can handle magnums. I think it would be great to have a .357 top break that ejects the rounds when you open it up. If you could make one that can use (but doesn’t HAVE to use) moon-clips so much the better!

We need a Hickok45 collaboration!

Great video! I picked up the same gun recently at a gun show for a good price. I joins it's larger brother, a .455 Webley from 1916. Shaved for moon clips as 99.9% of the surplus guns were, this one hits 2" high at 15y with 185gr 45ACP. It's plenty good enough to win any local PPC revolver match with and that makes me smile :)

I was really hoping to see some Webley speed shooting!

Big like from France 🇫🇷 👍🏽

Glad to see you back Jerry

That's so interesting. I found an extremely old box of Western Cartridge .38 S&W at a garage sale many years ago. It had a sticker on it that said "$.06 ea." Being an ammo nerd and collector I had to buy it even though I don't have anything chambered in .38 S&W. My how lucky we are to live in a time where we'll buy and shoot an entire case of ammo, let alone a single box. Lol

My great granddad had one of these during ww1, MkIII 38/200. My dad still has it.

I just bought my first revolver, a Taurus Model 66 with a 6" barrel, 38SPL/357Mag.

I love webleys I have a 38 tanker just like that except shorty shorter barrel They amazing little guns and fun ,,, 455 Eleys are another fun one

My brother had one just like that. Really fun shooter.

Where it comes to shooting sports, nobody hold a candle to Jerry !!!!!!!!

Nice always liked the webley. But never purchased one Just look at a Smith and Wesson 1917 converted to 455 webley in a gun store. Beautiful job four inch barrel and smooth action.

Always good when thee goat drops a video

Purchased 2 crates of unissued webleys back in the late 70's. They've been in their crates untouched ever since. It's time to bring these old webleys out into the light of day again, sell them and let others own and enjoy these unique little pieces of history

My grandma told me when I was a kid, they would get 3 cent bounty on crows. Then they would buy loose .22 shells for a penny a piece. She tells me this story when I was shooting nra silhouette, and buying a case at a time.

The old .38S&W is a fine cartridge, just hard to find today.

Jerry is a treasure.

Legend!!

Interesting fact speed loaders for a colt d frame work really well

Miss your videos. Seen the notification and instantly watched.

Great vid Jerry!!!!

RIP Jerry 😔

That's a pretty good eye-deer alright!

Pretty cool

Love them

I have a Webley .455 converted to .45 ACP. I had a gunsmith fix the broken spring inside and now she runs fine. Reloaded some .45 ACP hulls down to acceptable pressure levels and the gun is fun to shoot, would be NO fun to get hit with. Great old design, very comfortable.

Hi Mr. Miculek from way up yonder in York, Pennsylvania. Always enjoy your videos. God Bless!~》

Like you Gerry I also have my Grandfather’s Iver Johnson made next door to me in Fitchburg Massachusetts. My sons and I still bring it to the range whenever we go. Aim for the right kidney position at 20 yards and you might hit center mass half the time. I’m very impressed you nailed a soda can first shot😊

Jerry is the CHAMP!

Great video.

A great video.

I just bought one a few weeks ago, it was one of the last 150 produced

Just found your channel🤘❤️ but i smiled because you sound like the cajun cook, justin wilson🤘❤️🇺🇸

Glad you're back Jerry, it's been a while. I was worried about you

Jerry, you just make that Webley 38 looks great in demolishing the target.

Hope you’re doing well Sir! Happy New Year!

A good mate of mine had one many years ago and I had a colt chambered in the same calibre.

Very enjoyable commentary.

Jerry is perfectly fine just checked his instagram and he uploaded in February

I really like the lense size of your glasses. Can you tell us the basic specifications, make/model and where we may be able to "get some." Thanks Jerry.🇺🇲💯

It's very cool. I also have a Webley, mine is the WW1 version (MK VI), made in 1916. It would be great to have the WW2 version also.

Aw...I was hoping he was gonna be using the semi-auto Webley. Still cool though.

Mkiv Looks alot slimmer than the mkvi, love the grips on the iv too

Good display. I have a S&W 38 Victory model that post war was shorten to 2 1/2”, chromed, and reamed for 38 Special. My gunsmith advised against using 38 Special so I stick with 38 S&W. Ammo hard to find but seems sporadically available online stores. Nice soft shooter.

I have an Enfield it was made under licence the same as the Webley in .38 S&W I hand load them 3gr Unique and normal .38 either wadcutters or slugs!! Plus a V mod 10 Smith for commonwealth forces another nice shooter!

Jerry just pretends to use sights. He really uses The Force!
