Design

The revolver is a 'Break Action' self-extracting revolver4 and uses the .32 Smith & Wesson Long (7.65mm x 23mm) cartridge.5 It is based on the Webley Mk IV .38 S&W revolver, specifically the Singapore Police Force version with a safety catch. The smaller caliber was chosen so that it would be legal for civilian ownership under Indian law.

Variants

IOF also make a lightweight titanium frame version called the Nirbheek and a longer barrel steel frame version called the ANMOL.6
