Ring attached to grip.

Dear IFGians

I want to know that the ring attached to to the grip of Webley revolvers have
something to do with mechanism as one of my friend have losted his ring and
when he showed his revolver to a dealer he tell him that it is risky to carry a
webley revolver without that ring.

Not as long as he is not running with the revolver in an open-topped holster.

Thanks for the reply TwoRivers may be my question is Insane, but i do not have
much knowledge about the mechanism of weapons thats why i asked the question,
is any any one on this this forum can answer my question so that my doubts are
clear.

Regards,Amit

amitgzb: That ring is simply there to attach a lanyard, which in turn is attached to the uniform belt. In order to prevent loss of the weapon, and make it harder to grab away from you. It is found on police and military handguns. It has absolutely nothing to do with the mechanism. And your friend shouldn't even have a gun until he becomes better informed. My opinion.
