The Beretta Stampede is a single action revolver manufactured by Beretta. It draws a similar comparison to the Colt Peacemaker, which was popular in the 1860s and 1870s as a firearm for civilians and police forces in the Old West. This has gained a wide acceptance toward the people who own them. There are many variations to the Stampede as well.
Models[]
Stampede Old West[]
This is the second Stampede. It has a fixed front sight, wood grip, and holds .45 Long Colt rounds, the same as the Colt Peacemaker. It has a 4 3/4 or 5 1/2 inch barrel, which makes the total length 9.5 inches or 11 inches. It's cylinder capactity is six rounds, as are the others.
Stampede Old West Marshall[]
This was the third model of the Stampede series by Beretta. It was given to those who wanted a shorter version of the revolver, and was named "Old West Marshall" because police marshalls in the Old West carried shorter revolvers. This is not considered a snub-nose, though. It has a fixed front sight, a polished wood grip, and it holds .45 Long Colt rounds. This gun is 8.25 inches in length, and it's barrel is 3 1/2 inches in length.
Stampede Buntline Carbine[]
This is probably the most major of changes in the Stampede revolver line. It has a wood shoulder stock, a fixed sight, it also holds .45 Long Colt rounds, and cylinder capacity is still 6, and it is still single action. It is total 34 inches in length, and it's barrel is 18 inches. Wow. I suppose that this revolver might have been popular with the look of the Stampede, but feel of a rifle. This didn't sell as wildly as other models, but it has good reasons to be owned.
