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 Italian-made single-action revolver in .45 Colt caliber offers a blend of traditional design and modern craftsmanship. Its accuracy is commendable, particularly at moderate ranges, thanks to a well-aligned barrel and consistent lockup. The ergonomics are suited for most shooters, with a grip that facilitates a natural hold, though larger hands may find it slightly cramped. Reliability is a strong point, as the mechanism operates smoothly under regular use, provided proper care is taken. However, maintenance can be cumbersome due to the intricacies of the single-action design, requiring more attention than some contemporary models. Parts availability may also pose challenges for repairs or customization. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 3.5 pounds, which aids precision. Felt recoil, while noticeable with full-power loads, remains manageable for experienced users, though novices might find it somewhat stout during extended sessions.
