Check out this new Beretta offering. Not a Webley, but shoots .45 long colt, top break. Pretty nice!

Nice, very nice. How much is it going for and what's the barrel length?

Now that's a cool piece of retro hardware! Very 1800's...

Hint to S&W - what about a nice, vintage-stylee N-frame line?

Looks like a Shofield, right Michaelson?

Beauty weapon!

Jeez, the MSRP is 1100.00!! Guess I'll look for another Webley after all.....

It also bears resemblance to the 1874 S&W and the Iver Johnson large frame 2nd Model.

That same gun has been available for about 10 years now under the Uberti name for around $650. Uberti builds them for Beretta and Beretta charges you an extra $500 to put their name on it. Beretta now owns Uberti so I'm not sure if the Uberti brand Schofield is still available. Check your local gun shops and shows. You might be able to pick one of the Uberti's up and save a couple hundred dollars. Single action only unlike the Webley.
