Stampede Old West

I purchased this gun for my own personal use. I own a firearm business and I really liked the looks and feel of the Stampede. I shot about 150 rounds of 45LC through the gun and it shot great. Then I had a problem, I pulled the hammer back and it stuck in that position. I will have to send the gun to a service center for repair. Right now I am questioning the quality and durability of the gun. I know things can happen but we will see how Beretta responds to fixing my their gun problem.

I purchased this revolver at a gun shop because it was the .357 version with an "antique" metal finish. The grips also had a plastic antique finish, and I could tell that the wood grips were a beautiful walnut. So I first had to remove the plastic with a Dremel and sandpaper and then I used my Miles Gilbert refinishing kit on the grips. I put a low gloss finish on the grips, and while they are not "antique", they are now beautiful walnut grips. Oh, and the pistol shoots great using either .357 or .38 rounds.
