Beretta Stampede 45 Colt

[RugerMen]

Does anybody have any experience with the Beretta Stampede 45 Colt? I was thinking of picking one up, but I'd like some expert opinions first.

That really pretty bluing seems to scratch easily.

It would be a nickel model.

If you're not getting a Colt or Ruger, I'd stick to Uberti. I've heard horror stories about their customer service amongst the CAS shooters.

Thanks for the heads up Lawdawg45.

Beretta is Uberti.

Not real nuts about a Uberti with a makeshift adaptation to the transfer bar ignition system.

I have a Beretta Stampede Bisley.Mine is .38/357 with a 4 5/8" barrel.
I am very impressed with it.It has become a favorite to take to the range.

Go to the cowboy action forum (fora?) like sassnet.com and run a search.

Cowboys shoot a lot of rounds and really wring 'em out.

No one in my club shoots Beretta revolvers but I I found one I liked, I'd buy it. Yes, it's a Uberti with a transfer bar added but it's not made of spun glass or anything.

One of the big differences between Uberti & Beretta or Ruger is the transfer bar.

The original Colts, like the Ubertis, have a hammer mounted firing pin.
Load one, skip one, load four.
That leaves the chamber under the firing pin open.

Beretta, Ruger & others use a transfer bar to engage the firing pin.
MUCH less chance of accidental discharge - but also less authentic.

Let's put it this way....CDNN can't give them away!!! I've known some CAS Shooter that bought them and now don't have them anymore!
