Needs more Webley-Fosbery

The preferred sidearm of the RNAS.


OH, and my modern manufactured 1911 Springfield GI Mil Spec is quite accurate. The problem with a lot of the original G.I. issue pistols is that they are very very old, their heat treatment was non-existent and the are quite loose at this point.

I'm still jealous though. I'd love to have an original government issue Colt. But the prices are simply too dear these days. Even standard Webleys are going out of sight.
