Picture of Enfield No 2 Mk 1

The Enfield No 2 Mk 1 was a British military revolver produced after the Great War from 1931 to 1955 as both a training and service weapon. The Enfield No 2 Mk 1 was a scaled down copy of the earlier Webley Mk VI revolver, chambered for the .38 British service cartridge and also the .38 Smith and Wesson and .38 Webley cartridge, which it took from a 6-chamber cylinder. The Enfield No 2 Mk 1 had a 5-inch long barrel and a muzzle velocity of 183 metres per second . In 1938 the Enfield No 2 Mk 1 was modified, the comb being removed from the hammer and the mainspring lightened following complaints from tank personnel.
