Analysis

The nickel Stampede was the bright finish of the original plow-handle gun, cataloged with the blued model from 2003. It uses the same transfer-bar single-action lock and was built in the same plant as the rest of the line. The 2006 price list shows it in .45 Colt and .357 Mag at 4.75, 5.5, and 7.5 inches, priced just above the blued gun. The line was gone by the early 2010s. Intact nickel brings a small premium. Flaking drops it to the blued-gun value range

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.
