While I agree 100% WRT the H&R revolvers, the British Webley range of
top break revolvers are very strong designs, originally chambered for
rounds in the Colt 45 ACP range of power (.455 Webley & Scott).

You don't need a very strong gun to shoot 45 ACP . Most factory loads run
under 20,000 PSI. In WWII, Philippino resistance fighters made single-shot
pistols out of standard iron pipe and fired 45 ACP rounds in them. They
would hold together long enough to kill a Jap soldier to get his weapon.
