Agreed!
Actually I followed your link, and then went from there to the wiki pages on the ammunition in question. here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.45_ACPand here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.455_WebleyThe Military issue .45 ACP is a 230 grain Full Metal Jacket round, with a muzzle velocity of 835 FpS, and delivering 356 ft.lbs of kinetic energyThe military issue .445 Webley ammo was manufactured by several companies each of whom had their own standards and QC issues.The most powerful was a 265 grain full Metal Jacket round, with a muzzle velocity of 757 FpS delivering 337 ft.lbs of kinetic Energy. So not that much of a difference in stopping power, but with the .45 ACP having a slight advantage. Add in the fact that the Revolver, being a revolver has a lower ammo capacity and a much longer reload cycle and the Webley looks to be a downgrade in weaponry. My Uncle Dave used to do competitive pistol shooting. There were lots of .45s, and almost no .455 Webleys at the pro and Semi-pro level. Which is not surprising since it was manufactured from 1887 till 1923 [/i] and went out of service issue in 1963. Where as lots of guns firing the .45 ACP are still under manufacture.
You are not going to see so long messages with many of the current players around, so I guess this is goodbye.Goodbye

I don't say he didn't have an impact, but he did (positive or negative, your choice to pick). I'm not going to flame you because you have a friendly way of expressing your opinion (which I tend not to have) and thus I see no reason to flame you.
