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 revolver in .45 Colt caliber offers a commendable blend of traditional design and functional performance. Its accuracy is notable, with consistent grouping at moderate ranges, making it a solid choice for target shooting or casual plinking. The ergonomics are well-suited for most hand sizes, providing a comfortable grip during extended sessions. Reliability is a strong point, as it cycles smoothly with minimal issues under standard conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat demanding, requiring regular attention to keep it in peak condition, especially after heavy use. Parts availability may pose a challenge for some owners, as sourcing replacements can be inconsistent. The trigger pull is crisp with a moderate weight, aiding in precise shot placement, while the felt recoil is manageable but noticeable, particularly with hotter loads. Overall, it’s a dependable option for enthusiasts valuing classic revolver aesthetics and performance.
