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.

Production

Production of this firearm began in 2003 and continued until 2012. During this period, it was manufactured with a distinctive design, reflecting a classic Western style, and was crafted with attention to historical detail.

Analysis

This single-action revolver in .45 Colt caliber offers a blend of traditional design and practical performance. Its accuracy is commendable, with consistent groupings at moderate ranges, making it suitable for casual target shooting or cowboy action events. The ergonomics are well-suited for most hand sizes, providing a comfortable grip during extended use. Reliability is a strong point, as the mechanism functions smoothly with minimal malfunctions when properly maintained. However, maintenance can be somewhat demanding, requiring regular cleaning to prevent wear on the nickel finish, which is prone to scratching. Parts availability may pose a challenge, as some components are less common in the aftermarket. The trigger pull is crisp and predictable, averaging around 3.5 pounds, while the felt recoil is moderate but noticeable with full-power loads, potentially fatiguing for newer shooters during prolonged sessions.

A beautiful revolver inside and out!
By Bullwinkle on 18 Jul 2022
I was surprised to see that the Stampede had been produced for seven years (2003 - 2010 according to the information above). The way I remember it, the Stampede had been available for MAYBE two years, and then Beretta bought Uberti and didn't have a need to produce these exquisite revolvers anymore, with Uberti being the major Old West "retro" gun manufacturer. Regardless, I cannot begin to express how fortunate and privileged I feel to own one of these superb works of functional art. Too bad .45LC ammo is so expensive, relegating this beauty to "safe queen" status.
