In contrast, the small-frame “Pocket” Webley Mark IV was intended for civilian and police use, chambered for .32 Smith & Wesson Long or .38 Smith & Wesson cartridges. Webley & Scott is an arms manufacturer founded in Birmingham, England. Webley produced handguns and long guns from 1834 to 1979, when the company ceased to manufacture firearms and instead turned its attention to producing air pistols and air rifles. In 2010 Webley & Scott restarted the production of shotguns for commercial sale.
