I have had some negative experience with Beretta Stampedes. I wonder if Beretta is making the Stampedes and Uberti is assembling them? Browning Hi-Powers are made in Belgium and assembled in Portugal. ??? My ASM experiences have been spotty. I bought three from Traditions with consecutive serial numbers. One was a great revolver after an action job. The second had soft as butter internals and I believe ASM did not heat treat the internal action parts. It took some time and effort along with a large dose of cash to repair the problems it had. The third revolver was a POJ and returned for credit. That is not a good record for any company and a large part of why ASM went under. Ubertis I have owned really needed smoothing and stoning and polished action jobs to perform in CAS.
