I can't find any evidence the RCMP ever used Webleys. After withdrawing the Colt New Service, they used Smith & Wesson Model 10s with a five inch barrel until switching to 9mm automatics in the '80s and '90s. Should we note the (real) officers should be using Model 10s? --Maxman (talk) 16:11, 25 May 2016 (EDT)

Webleys are hybrids?
The barrels definitely aren't from a Webley. They're clearly round and not flat sided like a Webley, plus the front site looks off. Anyone able to roughly ID the barrel's origin? To me it looks a WW2 era S&W minus the ejector rod. --Slemke1998 (talk) 17:01, 30 April 2018 (EDT)
