The Webley .38 S&W revolver is a British double-action revolver that was used by the military, police, and civilians during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It has a six-shot cylinder and fires the .38 S&W cartridge, which is similar in diameter to the .38 Special but has less powder charge and a shorter case.

The revolver was first introduced in 1894 and was widely used by British forces during both World War I and World War II. It was also exported to Commonwealth countries and became popular among police and civilian shooters in the United Kingdom. The Webley .38 S&W revolver was known for its durability and reliability, as well as its accuracy and ease of use.

In the post-war years, the Webley .38 S&W revolver was gradually replaced by other firearms such as semi-automatic pistols. However, it has remained a popular choice among collectors and enthusiasts for its historical significance and distinctive design.
