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 compelling blend of historical design and practical performance. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent groupings at moderate ranges, making it suitable for casual target shooting or cowboy action events. The ergonomic grip, inspired by classic designs, provides a comfortable hold for extended sessions, though some shooters with smaller hands may find it less intuitive. Reliability is a strong point, with a robust mechanism that handles regular use well, provided proper care is maintained. However, maintenance can be somewhat demanding, as the traditional construction requires meticulous cleaning to prevent wear. Availability of replacement parts may pose challenges, potentially limiting long-term support. The trigger pull is crisp and predictable, averaging around 3.5 pounds, while felt recoil is moderate but noticeable, especially with hotter loads, requiring a firm grip for control.
