The official service pistol for the British military during the [[Second World War]] was the [[Enfield No. 2|Enfield No. 2 Mk I]] .38/200 calibre revolver.<ref name=Smith79_p11>{{harvnb|Smith|1979|p=11}}</ref> Owing to a critical shortage of handguns, a number of other weapons were also adopted (first practically, then officially) to alleviate the shortage. As a result, both the Webley Mk IV in .38/200 and Webley Mk VI in .455 calibre were issued to personnel during the war.<ref>{{harvnb|Stamps|Skennerton|1993|p=87}}</ref>
