 | | The Webley Revolver (also known/referred to as the Webley Break-Top Revolver or Webley Self-Extracting Revolver) was, in various marks, the standard issue service pistol for the armed forces of the United Kingdom, the British Empire, and the Commonwealth from 1887 until 1963. |
 | | The military was suitably impressed with the revolver (seen as a vast improvement over the Enfield revolvers then in service, which lacked a practical extraction system), and it was adopted on November 8th, 1887 as the "Pistol, Webley, Mk I". |
 | | It was a solid frame, gate-loaded revolver, chambered in.442 Webley, and General George Armstrong Custer was known to have owned a pair, which he used at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876. |
