    Yes, that is definitely pricey. Comparing this to the gun in the original post, $10,000 is completely outside of anything I am likely to ever be able to justify spending on a gun. $2,000 is comparable to multiple popular rifles as well as multiple 1911's (although if I were to part with $2,000, I'd rather have a good 1911).

    I do hope the Indian gun at least sells well on India.

    Not to diminish the efforts of the magnificent Anderson Wheeler recreation, but it's always been a bit of a question in my mind my why William Ruger, with his penchant for applying modern manufacturing techniques and materials to ostensibly classic firearms never recreated a Ruger Webley. I still think today that it would be a superb revolver, both operationally and aesthetically, and a very effective one for both general use and IDPA competition.

    Best, Jon

    Down the road from Quantrill's big raid.
    Between loving the looks and history of the Webley, and my first handgun being an H&R model 999, I have a thing for top break revolvers. Would love to have one again.

    Leave it to the Brits. Why not a Modern Mk VI in .45acp using clips?

    I was keenly interested when Detonics planned to release a top break in the 1980s

    "I would buy a modern Webley"...

    Since Indian revolvers were brought up, there's also the Nidar which by Googles math comes in at 8.8 ounces for a 8 shot .22lr. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/c...w/50805519.cms

    So, why would I buy a $10,000 reproduction Webley or a $2,000 Indian Webley-like revolver instead of just buying a Webley if I really wanted one? They seem to be pretty readily available.

    My LGS has two for sale; an unmolested .455 with canvas holster and the smaller .38 S&W. If I could swing it I'd buy both because..old British war movies.
