POTD: A Closer Look At A Webley MKI
Keith Biddle, of Keith Products Co., recently acquired this old Webley Mark 1 from a neighboring friend. His friend discovered the old revolver and no longer wanted it. Keith bought it for $100. Unfortunately the Mark 1 is in poor shape and it is doubtful it can be fired safely. The bore is rather rusted over. But Keith did not buy it for the purpose of firing it.

Webley still makes the iconic revolver but as an air gun and they cost $100.

Malaysian LE Teams Continue Counter-Terror Training

Continuing the exercise with this post we have units that were present in the earlier exercise and thus receive a much more well-rounded view of their capabilities and small arms. It appears that blank firing adaptors weren’t utilized during these drills, so all of the scenarios were completed without a force on force component. All photographs are attributed to the Royal Malaysian Police Facebook page. Our faithful TFB reader Azril sent us this narrative-
