Webley MK VI Pellet Revolver Review

[Steelontarget]

After a few weeks of owning and shooting the Webley MK VI, I thought I'd give it a little review and post a couple of photos.

Fun factor - 5 Stars.  If you like old classic revolvers this is the one to get.  It's loads of fun to shoot indoors despite the fact that it shoots about an inch low at 6-10 yards.  The cartridges are part of the cool fun factor as it gives a sense of realism to loading the actual center-fire cousin. 

Quality of Construction - 4 1/2 stars.  The plastic grips leave a little something to be desired.  When you remove or replace the left grip panel to load or remove the CO2 cartridge extra care should be taken to not break the thin tab that goes into the frame to keep it in place.  I don't know how hard it would be to get a replacement panel and don't want to find out.  If you get a Webley, be careful with the grip panel.

Accuracy - 4 1/2 stars.  This is a CO2 revolver and I have never expected or got great accuracy out of some of them except the Crosman 2300KT.  As I've already said, it shoots about and inch low at 6-10 yards.  It's not a $1000 match pistol and I don't expect it to be.  Accuracy for this type of airgun is a relative term. When I rest the revolver on my knees while sitting down I can get about 1 inch groups at 6 yards.  If my eyes weren't so old, I could probably get smaller groups. Nevertheless, it is good enough for shooting tin cans.

Overall rating - 5 stars.  I can't say much else except that I am thinking of getting another one.  It would be nice to have a spare whenever guests are visiting.  That way we can have a little friendly competition with a classic fix-sighted revolver while enjoying a cup of coffee on a cold winter day in the man-cave.

Very nice!   Pictures are great!

Thanks.  I forgot to add that at room temperature the revolver is good for about 60 shots. Needless to say, I ordered extra cartridges for a total of 60

Spring seems like it's a long way off because I can't wait for it to warm up to see what it does to tin cans.  Right now, it's too cold in Ohio for outdoor shooting with a CO2 gun

Attached are the same photos but in color.

That’s really neat. I’m a fan Webley pistols, I have a hurricane and a tempest. How loud is the revolver with CO2?

You’re probably asking the wrong person when it comes to how loud an airgun is.  I’ve shot a lot a PBs and if it doesn’t make as much noise as a .22LR then it seems quiet.

This guy did a good review of the revolver and at about 1:25 he does the loudness testing. It maxed out at 102 dB.
