Beretta Single Action "Cowboy" Revolvers
I'm looking for qualified opinions on the quality of the Beretta Stampede line of Single Action Revolvers. I heard that Beretta bought the Uberti plant. Are these quality guns? How is the steel? Are they durable/accurate? I was thinking about buying one but I have heard mixed opinions.

Idsman 75, I have two Uberti SSA and also read that Beretta owns Uberti, My guns are excellent and I've loaded a lot of different loads, I read that they are using the original Colt patents and I think for the cost they are a great deal, Les 0 -
Nice guns but I would buy the NICKEL finish the one I saw had a painted on CASE HARDENED finish. 0 -
I have a Uberti SAA and it is a great gun.
Don't know if the Beretta is exactly the same.0 -
My local shop talked me out of the lower end ones. they have plastic grip panels that are prone to breaking arround the screw, the wood grips on the deluxe ones are fine. The berattas are Ubertis with a transfer bar safety as best as I can tell.

Beretta or a Ruger Vaquero, which one is a better all around SA revolver?
Have a bunch of Rugers: Blackhawks, Vaqueros, & a variety of the DA models; but, I am very dissatisfied with the post AD Bill Ruger production workmanship and quality control on their firearms.....pretty darn poor.
Any comparisons on the Berettas and the older Ruger Vaqueros?

gunpaq--What do you think about this new integral safety lock that Ruger is going to start incorporating into their New Vaquero model? Apparently the old is going away (no longer manufactured) and now they're only making them with this silly integral locking device that's behind the grip panels. 0 -
JM2C, When I went to buy my SAA's I looked at the Rugers and Uberti's (Beretta did not have them at the time) I choose the Vaquero's. While the guy was writting them (2) up I ask to see the Colt Cowboy that was in another case. As I lifted it up and felt it, I could feel the diference right away. I then asked to hold and handle both the ruger and colt together. I bought the Colts and have never looked back, I own Colts, Rugers and Uberti's. I like the feel of the Colts and the heft of the Uberti's (BTW I bought 4 consecutivly numbered uberti's for a little over what I paid for the 1 Colt)I shoot the uberti's the most and I carry the Colt almost all of the time. I so however want a Beretta and have gone to see and handle them. Look before you leap and if the store you shop at has all of them, ask to see them side by side and you will definatly notice the difference. Hope this helped.

Idsman75, the integral safety lock is the cats meow over the politcally correct trigger lock and it definitely has it's advantages as a new improvement and safety feature. Personally, I like that type of feature to keep the firearm from immediate use in the wrong hands.
Having said that, I will not buy a firearm with that feature for my personal use. Like the activity of sport parachuting there are many fatalities directly attributed safety devices most of which are designed to make up for human error and lack of training. In a time of immediate need might I have time to fumble with the safet lock to operate the firearm or maybe it's locked and maybe it's not when my life may depend upon it.
I feel Ruger, as in the past, is gearing up with government friendly and politically correct safety features to survive in the future.

From what I saw at the SHOT Show, the Berettas look fine. It is true that Beretta now owns Uberti. I have always thought Uberti firearms are about as well-finished as any made anywhere.
As far as the case-hardening, it is not paint, but is probably chemically created on the lower grade guns and very fragile. If you want the best quality case-hardening, you have to buy a Colt or US Firearms, where the case-hardening is created the original way with charcoal and bone.0 -
Hello judge colt The Beretta I saw looked like a coating as part of it had flaked off almost like the "CLEAR COAT" on some older car paint jobs .other than that the gun looked well made and shot fine. 0
