I owned one of the H&R copies of the Webley .32 semiauto pistol years ago. Trigger pull was horrendously heavy and accuracy was grapefruit sized at 7 yards. I moved it on down the road to a collector.
It was, as I recall, a much more nicely fit and finished piece than the average H&R revolver. As it was one of only 2 .32 semiauto pistols I've ever owned (the other being a post-WWII Czech police sidearm I inadvertently won in a raffle), I can't comment on it in comparison to other similar pistols of its era. It was functional and I guess it would have worked as a self-defense pistol if needed, although even when it was built there were many better choices.
