Editing Webley Revolver (section)

===Post-war use===
The Webley Mk VI (.455) and Mk IV (.38/200) revolvers were still issued to British and Commonwealth forces after the Second World War; there were now extensive stockpiles of the revolvers in military stores, yet they suffered from ammunition shortages. This lack of ammunition was instrumental in keeping the Enfield and Webley revolvers in use so long: they were not wearing out because they were not being used. An armourer stationed in [[West Germany]] joked by the time they were officially retired in 1963, the ammunition allowance was "two cartridges per man, per year."<ref>{{harvnb|Stamps|Skennerton|1993|p=117}}</ref>

The Webley Mk IV .38 revolver was not completely replaced by the [[Browning Hi-Power]] until 1963, and saw use in the Korean War, the [[Suez Crisis]], [[Malayan Emergency]] and the [[Rhodesian Bush War]]. Many Enfield No. 2 Mk I revolvers were still circulating in British military service as late as 1970.<ref>{{harvnb|Stamps|Skennerton|1993|p=119}}</ref>
