History & Background

The Webley MP (Metropolitan Police) revolver was originally called the RIC Model/82, and it was not until a substantial amount of them had been sold to the London Metropolitan Police that the name was officially changed. Webley even designed a special logo – the hands in handcuffs with the words “Webley’s MP” around it - to differentiate it from the old models. All MP’s are short-barreled, large-caliber guns in .442 and .450/.455. Although the majority of them were sold to the Metro Police, many were also sold privately, as well as to some other police departments in the British Commonwealth, including New South Wales.
