The Beretta Stampede is a single-action revolver manufactured by Beretta that is a close clone of the Colt Single Action Army "Peacemaker".{{Cite book|title=The Handgun Guide for Women: Shoot Straight, Shoot Safe, and Carry with Confidence|first=Tara Dixon|last=Engel|publisher=Zenith Press|year=2015|isbn=9781627888103|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=lZeOCgAAQBAJ&pg=PA89&dq=%22Beretta+Stampede%22|p=89}} The main difference is that the Beretta utilizes a transfer bar like the Ruger Vaquero, allowing it to be carried safely with all six chambers loaded.
Variants
= 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 {{frac|4|3|4}} or {{frac|5|1|2}} inch barrel, which makes the total length 9.5 inches or 11 inches. Its cylinder capacity is six rounds, as are the others.
= Stampede Old West Marshal =
This was the third model of the Stampede series by Beretta. It was made for those who wanted a shorter version of the revolver. It has a fixed front sight and a polished wood "bird's head" style grip. It was available chambered in both the .45 Long Colt and .357 Magnum cartridges. The gun is {{frac|8|1|4}} inches long, and its barrel is {{frac|3|1|2}} inches.
= Stampede Buntline Carbine =
This is probably the most major of changes in the Stampede revolver line, and features a very long 18" barrel and a wood shoulder stock. It still is single-action with fixed sights, holding six .45 Long Colt cartridges. It is 34 inches long. (One must be careful when firing this or any revolving rifle, because of the side-blast at the junction of cylinder and barrel.)
= Stampede Gemini =
This model of the Stampede was made for people who prefer larger-framed revolvers. It is in a dimmer shade of silver, and has a darker-colored wood grip and a larger frame than the regular Stampede Old West. It has a fixed front sight with a {{frac|5|1|2}}-inch barrel and 11 inches total length, and holds six 45 Long Colt cartridges.
= Stampede Philadelphia =
This is a heavier model of the Stampede Old West, with smooth walnut grips. It weighs about 1/2 pound more than the Stampede Old West, 3.76 pounds (60 ounces) unloaded.
= Stampede Deluxe =
This is a more exclusive version of the Stampede Old West. This revolver is also available in .357 Magnum, but both models hold six rounds. It has three different barrel lengths, {{frac|4|3|4}}, {{frac|5|1|2}} and {{frac|7|1|2}} inches. It has walnut grips and a fixed front sight.
= Stampede Inox =
This is a standard Stampede Old West with an Inox finish. This gun has a black polymer grip, and the rest of it is stainless steel. It takes six .45 Long Colt cartridges. It has a fixed front sight and a {{frac|5|1|2}}" barrel.
It comes with a 4 and 3/4" barrel as well. It also takes .45 Colt cartridges.
= Stampede Bisley =
This is a model of the Stampede with a bent-down polymer or walnut grip like the original Bisley Colts. It is popular with people who want a closer reach to the trigger, which this bent-down grip provides; the revolver also is less prone to twisting upward in the hand when fired, making it better for target shooters. It has a fixed sight and a {{frac|5|1|2}}" barrel, and uses .45 Long Colt cartridges.
= Stampede =
This is the original Stampede. It is available in a blued finish, nickel finish, or Inox. It has a {{frac|5|1|2}}" barrel, a fixed front sight and wood, walnut or polymer grips.
