If that title caught your attention, you likely know about this very unique, and quite rare, British handgun. Most of us will never actually see an original, much less be likely to acquire one -
Well, I am one of a number of people anxiously following a project of PHSADC (Pakistan Hunting & Sporting Arms Development Company) .... namely, an affordable current-production version of the Webley-Fosbery! A friend in the United States has been advised that the project is far enough along that the revolvers could be available in the near future through a US distributor .... supposedly in the price-range of US$800 ....
Here is a link to the PHSADC Facebook album showing a prototype of the revolver - https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.279760965502911.1073741825.173636442782031&type=1
I have sent an inquiry to Marstar (who seemed like a likely choice) to see if there is any possibility of their bringing in these revolvers, as I'd certainly buy one if the price was comparable to the projected US pricing. If anyone else is interested, check out these links .... then jump on the bandwagon to encourage Marstar (or, failing them, some other Canadian distributor) to bring these in!

This is the general Facebook page where PHSADC showcase products and projects .... I don't know how to post a link to the specific thread where they link to the above album, but if you scroll through the page you should see it, and be able to leave "Likes" and "Comments" ..... (Lots of other fascinating looking items on their site, also.) https://www.facebook.com/pages/Pakistan-Hunting-Sporting-Arms-Development-Company-Phsadc/179036122242220

Well, that is certainly an over-generalization! As with most firearms-manufacturing countries, there are both good products and bad products made there. Pakistan has both "Khyber Pass backyard makers" and quite sophisticated firearms production facilities. PHSADC is a Pakistan Government development and marketing agency, so I assume the products they promote come from different manufacturers, but would be expected to meet some sort of minimum standards for export ..... Clearly they wish to export these (and most of the other items they promote) to the "Monied West" .... on an ongoing basis .... so they won't likely be shipping out "hand grenades".
