The
internal mechanism is very sturdy and durable, it is a part
copy of the Webley and part copy of Smith & Wesson. The
construction is such that it is easy and cost effective to
produce. It has a safety lock, barrel opening, cylinder and
overall shape like Webley revolver. The internal mechanism
is somewhat like a crude copy of Smith-Wesson. Overall it
is a value for money deal.
Drawbacks:
1. Grips:
The grips are ill-fit. This is more because of non-standard
manufacturing process. The body is investment casted and then
CNC machined for internal components. The external grip shape
is manually made and hence such problems. If you look at the
webley revolver also, the grip fitting is not tight and snug
as of the other imported pistols.
2. External Finish: The weapon is powder
coated for a durable finish. But, unfortunately most of the
people do not like this kind of cheap finish, they prefer
the conventional blue-black blued finish. The numbering and
markings are also very light.
Modification:
1.
Grips: Beautiful grips can be purchased from
your local gunsmith or can be sourced from us.
2. Bluing: Powder coating can be removed
and the weapon blued for a beautiful finish.
Bluing salts can be purchased from us. Caution: The original powder coating is much more durable
than the conventional bluing.
2. Payment can be made by way of D.D as per the details in
the Application Form.
