The Webley wasn't actually adopted until about 8 years after Rorke's Drift, at the time the standard issue revolver was the Adams Mk.III. Officers may have had private purchase Pryses though.
Hell if you want to take offensive revolvers, take a look at the Gasser Montenegrin or Reichsrevolver. The Gasser shoots a carbine cartridge and the Reivhsrevolver could easily be used to beat a man to death (which would probably be easier than trying to reload the bloody thing).
