    Interesting History and Caliber Webley Mk IV

    0624160758 by bigsargee7, on Flickr

    This one is in 32 S&W Long and a joy to shoot. 32 S&W Long was the first handgun cartridge I learned to reload. Needless to say this one is the fun can and plinking gun I always go to. Many a pound of Unique and Bullseye have gone through it. Smooth action in single or double mode. Taught my Son to shoot a revolver with it many years ago.

    On the history side it was made for the South African Railroad Police. Came with and interesting flap holster that is made of a material that feels like cardboard or extremely thin hide of something.

    That would be a very accurate cartridge in that heavy little frame...well known for accuracy.

    Exactly just a pure pleasure to shoot. 98gr wadcutter with 2gr's of Bullseye was cheaper to shoot than 22LR for a time. Might even be now.
