They recently pulled that on the frame of a certain Eastern European blank/flare gun, where they decided it could also be used on a different model of revolver made by the same company. Only problem is that if you look at the other models, they are also blank/flare guns.
The frame of the 1" flare gun is very flimsy compared to the frame of any webley revolver. I did make an adapter for the 1" barrel to accept .32 blanks. The flare pistol was used in a theatrical production. I never did, nor would I try, to fire actual .32 ammo out of it. I am not sure the frame and stirrup would put up with the recoil of actual rounds for very long.

1) In modern times, for at least the last 25 years or more, it is a pen flare launcher.
2) In olden times, flare pistols were a component of most if not all armoured vehicles. If you look at the kit stowage for most of the Cdn armour, you will see either the 1" flare pistol holster stowed, or (I think I have seen) a hole for the 1-1/2" pistol lugs. As to wandering threads, that is a trait of an MLU thread. I am almost surprised, that after a chain of 8 response in a thread, we have not migrated to weather or English vocabulary by this point.
