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 nickel-finished revolver in .357 Magnum offers a solid blend of traditional design and practical performance. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering tight groupings at moderate ranges when paired with quality ammunition. The ergonomics are well-suited for most shooters, with a grip that facilitates a natural hold and aids in control during firing. Reliability is a key asset, as the mechanism operates smoothly with consistent cycling under various conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat demanding, requiring regular attention to preserve the finish and internal components. Availability of replacement parts may pose a challenge for some owners, potentially leading to delays in repairs. The trigger pull is crisp, with a predictable break that enhances shot placement, though the felt recoil can be sharp, especially with full-power loads, which might affect newer shooters or those sensitive to kickback. Overall, it’s a capable choice for enthusiasts seeking a classic revolver experience.
