I purchased a Beretta Stampede Marshall in 357 Mag. (I think 2004 manufacture) at a gun show a few weeks ago. Every thing appeared to be perfect on it. I put 60 rounds (Mix of 357 & 38) through it at the range without a problem. My concern is that when the gun is at full cock, the hammer can not be lowered other than by firing the gun. Every other single action I have (Colt & S&W), I can hold the hammer, squeeze the trigger and lower the hammer. This Beretta will only allow the hammer down to ALMOST the half cock position and all functions lock up other than return to full cocked and fire.
This is my first Beretta and my first gun (And probably my last one) with a transfer bar. My question, is this normal with a Beretta single action, with a transfer bar, or a malfunction that needs repair?
