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 .357 Magnum delivers commendable accuracy, particularly at moderate ranges, thanks to its well-aligned barrel and fixed sights. The ergonomic design of the grip offers a natural hand fit, enhancing control during extended shooting sessions. Reliability is a strong suit, with consistent performance under varied conditions, provided regular care is maintained. However, maintenance can be somewhat demanding, as the traditional design requires meticulous cleaning to prevent wear on internal components. Availability of replacement parts may pose a challenge, especially for less common repairs, which could frustrate some owners. The trigger pull is crisp and predictable, averaging around 3-4 pounds, which aids precision. Felt recoil, while manageable for experienced shooters, might be sharp for novices due to the potent caliber and lighter frame, necessitating proper technique to maintain comfort and accuracy over time.
