MSD Champion vs webley fox .32

[Capt_vaibhav]

Hello everyone!

I have an All india validity license, right now i have .32 pistol by GSF purchased in year 2016 .

For past few months with the launch of so many new weapons i am seriously thinking about changing my current pistol And after YouTubeing for some days i was Pretty much inclined towards .45 champion as it is of perfect size and also i want to try .45 caliber for a change.
Now recent announcement from Webley about the launch of .32 fox,again created the confusion about what weapon shall i buy .
I have spoken to few of the dealer across the country regarding the same and have got mixed reviews about webley.
Some claims that webley are being sold in india just because of the sake of it’s name , or they are good in revolvers not pistols etc etc .
Some on the other hand are saying that webley is indeed a fine machine..
Like more or less everyone is saying that the quality of MSD champion is better and it is a very capable weapon.

What are your thoughts about it ???

I would suggest you wait till December,
Reason being I had vacated my license in february in the opinion that the manufacturers would live upto heir claims at the time of launch, But I think in the next 3 months a very crystal clear picture of all the launched and soon to be launched pistols will be in market like Fox .32, Astr Atal .32, Werywin Victor and other S&W models. ""Also I had a word with Vinvelli who are introducing CZ pistols into Indian market and also their marketing team is swift with the responses.""
In the meantime you can also visit defence expo which is said to be anywhere in October and get first hand handling experience and details of several other arms manufacturers aswell.

But if you have made up you mind to only go for .45 bore MSD Pistols in my opinion are better as you can replace any 1911 parts with its guns which shows confidence in the company and product and the level of consistency the firm abides by, But again Its my opinion...Webley being a ambidextrous pistol is thoughtful but I havn't seen a lot of videos of it.

Go for Champion or stay with your current weapon. Champion is very good quality pistol. Only problem is that the ammo is highly priced. If you shoot less then ammo price shouldn’t be a problem.

There is no point of selling .32 pistol and again buying a .32 for Rs. 3,25,000. (That’s what I have heard Webley fox will be priced for).
Indian Webley quality is also not that good.

If you buy fox, the advantage you will get is 5-6 rounds more in the magazine and double action. But are these two things worth spending that much amount ?

Thank you for your reply Vineet ji ! Price of ammo shouldn’t be any problem as I hardly fire my weapon!
I was thinking same as in all the weapons which are launching soon are .32 only . I mean i have used .32 already and know how that caliber behaves. So why not switch if given an option.

And also as pratipalsinh ji quoted “MSD Pistols in my opinion are better as you can replace any 1911 parts with its guns which shows confidence in the company and product and the level of consistency the firm abides by, But again Its my opinion” makes me go towards it more .
Like if we can replace any part with original colt then isn’t super good .
Champion in my opinion looks pretty manly and robust and old school, other to be launched pistols are looking good in deed and looks flashy like straight out of a si fi movie with fiber and steel mix . Only my opinion and could be wrong too .
