Analysis

This is the original Stampede, introduced in 2003 as Beretta’s single-action western revolver. It uses a modern transfer-bar lock rather than a period Colt action, and was built in the same plant as the later Bisley and Laramie. The 2006 price list shows the blued gun in .45 Colt and .357 Mag at 4.75, 5.5, and 7.5 inches. Nickel and the color-case Deluxe were separate catalog finishes. The Bisley grip was added in 2005. The line was gone by the early 2010s. Used guns trade on bore and whether the polymer panels are intact.
