Enfield No 2 Mk1 .380 Revolver

Post by ian27 » Mon May 14, 2007 5:53 pm

Last week a dealer that I know phoned me to tell me he had an Enfield and a Webley revolver for sale, both in .380. I got to his shop today and examined them. The Enfield was in better shape than the Webley, and it is now mine!!!! :bigsmile: It is an Enfield No2 Mk1 .380 dated 1930. The bore is in excellent condition and overall its a nice revolver. It comes with an original web holster which has loops for holding rounds. The holster is also in excellent shape. I was in a rush so only had the chance to take this one pic with the camera on my mobile phone. It looks better in the flesh, pic doesnt do it justice. I am still tempted with the Webley .380, but I want a Webley Mk VI so may have to pass on it.

Not bad example! Got access to ammo?
I'd rather have a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy!

I checked a few dealers here, and found that only one of them stocked the .38 S&W ammunition. He didnt have a big stock of it, but had Winchester and Remington. Now for the bad bit, the Remington was priced at £25 per 50rds and the Winchester was £20 per 50rds. I will obviously be starting to reload .38 S&W :lol:

I remember paying similar for the last 50 rds of .455 from Fiocchi. I learnt to hand load!
