Production of the Webley Junior Mk II was relatively short lasting till only 1976, being conceptually replaced in 1977 by the comaparatively unpolular Webley Typhoon. Introduced in 1973, the Junior Mk II was the first Webley air pistol to relocated the barrel latch spring to a blister on the left side of the piston tube, a feature that would be adopted by the Premier Mk II in 1975. 177 calibre, but can be distinguished from the earlier model by its solid frame and the Premier style barrel locking latch (the origigal Webley Junior had a locking latch styled on the Webley Mk 1). Like its predecessor the Webley Junior Mk II was a smaller weapon available only in.

In 1964 the Senior was rebranded as the Webley Premier and went through a series of models, A to F along with a transitional model, featuring minor incremental mostly internal changes (such as piston material, trigger pin numbers and location, finishing techniques etc.) before introducing the final Webley Premier Mk II in 1975 which had an alloy frame and relocated the barrel latch spring to a blister on the left side of the piston tube (a design element which remained on the future Hurricane and Tempest). The original Senior follows the same model progression as the Mk 1, with the initial straight grip version being released in 1930, being replaced by the slant grip version in 1935, and a milled gripping section being added to the barrel after World War 2. Although the difference in the cocking linkage is visible on the outside even when in the ready to fire position, the easier to see indicator of this model is the side mounted lever added to the barrel locking latch.
This meant that rather than an approximate 90 degree throw of the barrel to compress the spring, this same compression is done over a close to 180 degree throw reducing the force required. The Webley Senior Air Pistol is an evolution of the Webley Mk 1, with the principal difference being an improved double linkage to the cocking action.

This was a target version of the pistol with the main differences being internal modifications to the pistol system to increase consistency and therefore accuracy.
Alongside the Mk 1 Webley also produced the far shorter lived and rarer Mk 2 between 19. Although the Webley Senior was an improved version featuring easier barrel unlocking and cocking, production of both models carried on in parallel until the introduction of the Webley Premier in 1964. In 1935 this was replaced by the more typical "slant grip" model, which was further modified after World War 2 with a milled section on the barrel to aid grip during cocking. The original version had a somewhat atypical grip shape and angle and is today known as the "straight grip" model. At the time the Mk 1 was revolutionary in terms of how the cocking action worked, using a linkage to allow the barrel to barrel to pivot at the front of the gun leading to a very compact weapon for its power. The Webley Mk 1 Air Pistol was the first air pistol manufactured by Webley starting in 1924. Webley Mk 1 Air Pistol, slant grip post-war.
