About the Gun

Stampede series revolvers are modern reproductions of classic 19th century old west single-action revolvers. They replicate the dimensions, cosmetics and feel of the legendary Old West sidearm, while discretely incorporating the most modern safety features and manufacturing materials. 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 .45 Colt caliber offers a blend of historical design and practical performance. Its accuracy is commendable, particularly at moderate ranges, thanks to a well-aligned barrel and consistent sight picture. The ergonomic grip, inspired by classic designs, provides a natural hold for many shooters, reducing fatigue during extended sessions. Reliability is a strong suit, with a robust mechanism that handles regular use without frequent issues. The trigger pull is crisp and predictable, averaging around 3-4 pounds, which aids in precise shot placement. However, felt recoil can be pronounced, especially with hotter loads, potentially challenging for less experienced users. Maintenance requires diligence, as the nickel finish is prone to scratching and demands careful cleaning to prevent corrosion. Additionally, sourcing replacement parts can be difficult, limiting long-term support. Overall, it’s a capable choice for enthusiasts valuing tradition, though it’s not without practical drawbacks.
