Thinking of trench conditions in WW I I'd be tempted by the revolver.
It's winter, dark, raining, up to your ankles in mud, (if you're lucky). Field stripping the Mauser leaves you with a pile of little parts begging to go missing, fiddly reassembly, and a bit clunky in the hand. The P08 has fewer bits to lose, but was probably the most prone to jamming in the conditions. The Webley; one screw if you really want to remove the cylinder for cleaning, other wise a very robust piece of kit.
That 45 caliber piece of lead would be decently effective at close range, and I reckon it'd make the best club in a desperate situation !
