The standard-issue Webley revolver at the outbreak of the First World War was the Webley Mk V (adopted 9 December 1913 [9]), but there were considerably more Mk IV revolvers in service in 1914, [10] as the initial order for 20,000 Mk V revolvers had not been completed when hostilities began. [9]
Webley further developed the design and the Webley–Fosbery Automatic Revolver was introduced at the matches at Bisley in July 1900. [2] In civilian use, the Webley–Fosbery was popular with target shooters. Because the trigger mechanism did not rotate the cylinder, shots were smooth and consistent, permitting rapid and accurate shooting.

The design originated in 1868 for the Webley Royal Irish Constabulary model revolver and was manufactured as late as 1917. [4] A version made by Webley, but finished by Belfast-based gunmaker, Joseph Braddell, known as the Ulster Bull Dog, used a longer grip frame than the standard, making the revolver easier to control and shoot.
