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 blend of historical design and practical performance. Its accuracy is commendable, with tight groupings achievable at moderate ranges when paired with quality ammunition. The ergonomics are well-suited for users familiar with traditional revolver grips, providing a comfortable hold during extended shooting sessions. Reliability is a strong point, as the mechanism functions smoothly under varied conditions with proper care. However, maintenance can be somewhat demanding, requiring regular cleaning to prevent wear on internal components. Availability of replacement parts may pose a challenge, as they are not as widely stocked as those for more modern designs. The trigger pull is crisp and consistent, averaging around 3.5 pounds, which aids in precision shooting. Felt recoil is noticeable but manageable for most shooters, though those sensitive to heavier calibers might find it less forgiving over time.
