went to my local gun store (Turners) and fondled one of the new Beretta Stampede's in .357 5 1/2 inch barrel...to say the least, i'm IMPRESSED with this pistol. It just felt right to me. This is the first time I have held a SAA type pistol outside of my dad's single six. I also handled the same gun in .45LC with the 4 3/4 barrel and it did seem that the balance was a bit better in my hand. But i'm bent on .357 for my next pistol purchase...unfortunately they didn't have one in .357 with the shorter barrel...and they didn't have ANY Vaquero's (new or old) to compare with it either. I probably would have put the one I handled on layaway if I didn't already have another firearm on layaway at a different store,...also, i really want to get a feel for this new Vaquero when i can get my hands on one.
overall, it's down to the Vaquero and the Stampede for my next pistol purchase...just gotta feel the Vaquero first!
