The Webley extractor will kick the cases clear (usually) ready for insertion of new cartridges. The cartridges themselves were often held together in "half moon" clips - thin strips of metal holding three rounds apiece so that the pistol could be reloaded more quickly.
The reload sequence was usually three stage like this.
- Operate release catch. Open and eject spent rounds.
- Insert first half moon clip
- Insert second half moon clip
- close gun ready for firing.
Without half moon clips the rounds would have to be inserted singly and obviously take longer.
They also frequently had a lanyard ring at the bottom of the pistol grip.
