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 traditional design that appeals to fans of classic Western firearms. Its accuracy is commendable, particularly at moderate ranges, thanks to a well-balanced barrel and solid construction. The ergonomics are comfortable for most users, with a grip that facilitates a natural hold during extended shooting sessions. Reliability is a strong point, as the mechanism operates smoothly with consistent performance under standard conditions. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 3.5 pounds, which aids in precision shooting. However, felt recoil can be noticeable, especially with hotter loads, potentially affecting newer shooters. On the downside, maintenance requires attention to detail due to the intricate design, and sourcing replacement parts may pose challenges. Additionally, the weight might be cumbersome for some, limiting its practicality for everyday carry or prolonged use.
