About the Gun

Also, the feel and functioning is like the originals, with a multiple-click single-action hammer mechanism and a half-cock position that allows the cylinder to spin free. Stampede revolvers are actually produced at the Uberti Aldo & Co. manufacturing facility, which was acquired by Beretta in 2000.

Analysis

This single-action revolver in .357 Magnum caliber offers a solid blend of traditional design and practical performance. Its accuracy is commendable, particularly at moderate ranges, thanks to a well-aligned barrel and consistent sight picture. The ergonomics are a highlight, with a grip design that suits a variety of hand sizes, providing comfort during extended shooting sessions. Reliability is another strength, as the mechanism operates smoothly under regular use with proper care. However, maintenance can be demanding, requiring meticulous attention to keep the nickel finish pristine and prevent wear. Parts availability may also pose challenges, as some components are less common in the aftermarket. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 3.5 pounds, which aids precision. Felt recoil, while manageable for experienced shooters, might be sharp for novices due to the potent caliber and lightweight frame. Overall, it’s a capable choice with considerations for upkeep.
