I have a 1905 Webley Mark I, 4-in barrel and birds-head grip. Its converted to fire .45 ACPs and I use the half or full-moon clips. I find the half-moon easier (not necessarily faster overall) to load than the full. Since all my ammo pouches (WWI era) are set up for the half moons, that's what I prefer. The old Webley isn't particularly accurate past about 100 feet, though improved with the ACPs over the original .455 Webley ammo, it's a natural pointer. When loaded with hollowpoints, it's got intimidation potential it can back up. If you would ever have to draw down on someone with it, the first think he'll see is a bore the size of a cannon. The second will be those shiny hollowpoints in the cylinder. Definitely a "gulp" moment! Bob, I agree with the smoothness of the action, but it still requires considerable pull. I had my trigger worked on, which improved it greatly with the hammer back but not so much in double action.
