Once again congratulations.
Thanks again - I try to shoot all of my guns at least once as well - I just need to work up the courage to shoot my Webely 1910 now. I just REALLY don't want to fuck up a gun they made under 1000 of....

Although, on that note, I find it amusing that, particularly in the US, both the Colt 1905 (6100 made) and my .455 1911 (at least 11,000 made) go for more than a Webley 1910 (about 700 made). Rarity and desirability don't always exactly equal.
