This review of the Webley No5 Express New Army revolver, presented by Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons, details its design as a robust, solid-frame evolution from earlier Webley models. It highlights the revolver's blend of American cartridge power and European double-action mechanisms, its compatibility with various large calibers like .45 Colt and .476, and its historical context within British military and officer procurement.
The Webley No5 Express New Army revolver represents a unique blend of American and European design, featuring a longer cylinder than its predecessors to accommodate full-power .45 Colt black powder loads. It is marked for multiple calibers including .455 CF, .45 Long, and .476, with the latter essentially using a heeled bullet. This design offered greater power potential compared to contemporary British service revolvers like the Enfield.
