{"product_id":"9781849088039","title":"The Webley Service Revolver","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Webley .455in service revolver is among the most powerful top-break revolvers ever produced and has a claim to be the first 'tactical fighting pistol'. First adopted in 1887, in various marques it was the standard-issue service pistol for British and Commonwealth armed forces for nearly fifty years; later versions in .38in calibre went on to see further service in World War II and beyond, as well as in a host of law-enforcement roles around the world into the 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeveloped to give British service personnel the ability to incapacitate their opponents in 'small wars' around the globe, the Webley used the formidable - and controversial - .455in cartridge, a variant of which was known as the 'manstopper'. Users found it offered good penetration and excellent stopping power with only mild recoil - indeed, it was rated superior to the US .45 Colt in stopping power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing specially commissioned full-colour artwork and close-up photographs, this is the compelling story of the Webley revolver, the powerful pistol that saw service across the British Empire and throughout two world wars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Osprey Publishing, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47043294200048,"sku":"9781849088039","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781849088039_p0.jpg?v=1763751278","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781849088039","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
