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 revolver in .357 Magnum caliber offers a solid blend of traditional design and practical performance for enthusiasts of classic firearms. Its accuracy is commendable, delivering consistent groupings at moderate ranges when paired with quality ammunition. The ergonomics are well-suited for most hand sizes, with a grip that facilitates a natural hold and aids in control during firing. Reliability is a strong point, as the mechanism functions smoothly under regular use with proper care. However, maintenance can be somewhat demanding, requiring diligent cleaning to prevent wear on intricate components. Availability of replacement parts may pose challenges, potentially frustrating owners needing repairs. The trigger pull is crisp, with a predictable break that enhances shooting precision, though it might feel slightly heavy for some users. Felt recoil is manageable, especially with lighter loads, but can be sharp with full-power magnum rounds, necessitating a firm grip.
