History of the Enfield
Mk 1 pistol
The
design of the Enfield Mk I pistol was inspired by the Webley Mark
VI pistol, already used in the British Army, but the English wanted
to replace it.
The Enfield Mk I pistol was produced between 1926 and 1927 by
the Royal Small Arms Factory located in Enfield, Great Britain.
The Enfield
Mk I, with a six shots barrel, was commissioned in the British
army in 1932.
A
new model was produced in 1942, called the Enfield Mk I **. The
main change is that the weapon is easier to use and to maintain.
