Beretta Stampede Bisley feedback?

[DavidB2]

Just saw a beautiful Beretta Stampede Bisley stainless with a 4 5/8 barrel at my local gun store for $425.00. Two questions, is this a good deal? Also, does anyone have good or bad experiences with the Stampede Bisley model?

The action on the revolver is very smooth. I have heard that the Bisley design was for target/competitive shooting as they are much easier to shoot one handed that the plow handle. Thanks for your feedback.

Many people prefer the bisley grip for heavier recoiling loads. Just choose which style grip feels best in your hand. Personally it has never made that much difference to me.

Uberti is owned by beretta and the stampede was uberti made (I believe). As you said they have a smooth action and my .44 WCF (.44-40) stampede has held up just fine. Mine has a transfer bar firing mechanism, but it has to be loaded at half cock, which means you're lowering the hammer on a live round if you load six.
