Question for Michaelson

I was reading your FAQ discussion on Indy Gear concerning the MkVI Webley in LC and you state that it is too heavy to be practical. I have never seen a MkVI other than in photos, but it seems to me that it is no bigger, or not even as big, as most 44 Magnums. If Dirty Harry could carry a 44 Magnum around semi-concealed, why not a MkVI for Indy? Of course, the power level is no where near equal, but the 44 is something of an overkill unless you a up against a bear.

Also, in regard to accuracy, I have a MkIV .38 and a S&W Model 13-4. I find the S&W to be more accurate, but I believe this is due to better sights, and a better trigger pull, rather than anything inherent in the pistols. It might be due to me.

One more question. How do you know it is chambered for .45 instead of .455? Can you tell that from the scene with the Bf109's, or did that info come from another source?

PS: The "Question" side says MkVII instead of MkVI.
