Enfield No. 2

Enfield No. 2 Mk I. Original configuration with spurred hammer - .38 S&W

Enfield No.2 Mk.1* - .38 S&W

Enfield No.2 Snubnose - .38 S&W

The successor to the Webley Mk VI service revolver. Introduced in 1931. It had a smaller frame and was in .38 S&W instead of the bigger .455 Webley caliber. One of the examples shown here was known as the No.2 MkI*. It had a bobbed 'anti snag' hammer due to troubles reported by tank crewmen. Supposedly the first model's hammer spur would catch and snag. This was the official sidearm for the British Army until 1957 when it was replaced by the Browning Hi-Power which is still in service today.

Though it resembles the Webley Mk IV revolver it has significant engineering differences.
