he got a job as a security guard on a construction site. Dad rechambered the Enfield to .38 Special. You had to cut the nose off the 158 gr. factory loads, making about a 125/135 gr. full wadcutter. Otherwise the bullet stuck out the end of the cylinder and you could not cock the gun.

One night he caught 2 guys stealing coolers from the new homes and one of the guys threw down on him with a .30-30. Joe shot him in the leg with the Enfield and the bandit nearly bled to death from the massive wound.

The cops were impressed by its performance.

Anyone have any experience with the Break Top Webley .45? - WB, 2022-06-09, 09:59
