Bayonette on a handgun??

That bayonet converted a good revolver into a clumsy piece of uselessness.

NOT really. Imagine yourself going into no-mans land on a trench raid. Its pitch dark. You have just jumped into a german trench, You have fired all six shots, there are still more germans who want to "discuss" your visit. You do not have time to remove the prideaux rapid loader from your belt, open the revolver to eject the empties, and reload.

Make a bit more sense now?;)

Oh by the way, that shoulder stock was intended for the flare pistol that uses a MK6 Webley frame. One must mill a groove in the bottom of the grip to attach the shoulder stock, otherwise it will not fit the revolver.

There was also the french "apache" pistol that combined a pinfire revolver, a dagger and a set of brass knuckles.

Leave it to the french to find a way of taking 3 weapons and turning them into something as effeminate as that.

I think you guys are missing the point...that setup would not have raised an eyebrow in a trench in WW1, where hand-to-hand combat was not uncommon, and a last-ditch fight with entrenching tools or an emptied Webley with a bayonet attached surely took place more than once.

"All quiet on the western front" comes to mind ... using a sharpened entrenching tool as a close-in weapon seems to have been pretty much standard practice.
 
STI had a Bayonet on a tactical model at ther us nationals table a few years back. I asked Mr Skinner about and he said it worked perfectly, everyone came over to look at the table because of it.
 
I'd like to present to CZ another idea to put wooden grips on barrel so gunman can use pistol as a combat hammer as the last resort when bayonette breaks...
