===Police use=== The [[Royal Hong Kong Police]] and [[Singapore Police Force]] were issued Webley Mk III & Mk IV (38S&W then.38/200) revolvers from the 1930s. Singaporean police (and some other "officials") Webleys were equipped with safety catches, a rather unusual feature in a revolver. These were gradually retired in the 1970s as they came in for repair, and were replaced with [[Smith & Wesson Model 10]] .38 revolvers. The [[London Metropolitan Police]] were also known to use Webley revolvers, as were most colonial police units until just after the Second World War.{{citation needed|date=October 2020}} The [[Royal Canadian Mounted Police]] and [[Shanghai Municipal Police]] received Webley Mk VI revolvers during the interwar period.{{sfn|Maze|2012|page=57}} The [[Ordnance Factories Organisation|Ordnance Factory Board of India]] still manufactures .380 Revolver Mk IIz cartridges,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://ofbindia.gov.in/products/data/ammunition/sc/10.htm |access-date=2006-08-03 |title=Cartridge SA .380" Ball Revolver|publisher=Indian Ordnance Factories}}</ref> as well as a [[.32 S&W Long|.32 calibre]] revolver (the [[IOF .32 Revolver]]) with {{convert|2|in|mm|adj=on}} barrel which is clearly based on the Webley Mk IV .38 service pistol.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://ofbindia.gov.in/products/data/weapons/wsc/3.htm |access-date=2006-08-03 |title=Revolver 32 (7.65 mm x 23) |publisher=Indian Ordnance Factories}}</ref>
