Would like to get a wheel gun. Any body have one made by Beretta?

I don't have 1, but I looked at 1 at the shop the other day.

I think it kinda depends on what ya want. The Beretta revolvers are more like recreations of old west revolvers. If that is your flavor, I have heard good things.

If you want something for traditional carry, I think a more updated revolver design might be better.

Taurus is suppoosed to be pretty good, but S&W usually is sturdier and is made a little better/better fit and finish.

The wife and I have a Stampede Marshall in 45lc.. Love the grips and so far about 1000 rounds without a hitch. Seems to be a very solid well built and accurate gun. It's a nice departure from the semi autos and the DA's we have. Check one out I think you may like the Stampedes..

I seem to be the only person on earth who actually has one of the Laramies, and have since they first came out - with the wrong manual included. ;0

It's eaten close to 2k rounds now.





It is most certainly not a modern revolver, but that's not what I got it for. I'm a sucker for top-breaks, and when it came into the shop here, I had to have it.

I'm curious, how do you empty the cylinder of a top-break? Is there some sort of ejector? Could you post some more detailed pictures, please :)

I'd really have no use for any kind of wheelgun, but there's something in them... so, maybe one for just a some sort of "Sunday gun" :wink:

It's the granddaddy of the S&W hand ejector - when the weapon is put on half-cock, you release the latch and pull the barrel downwards rapidly. There is a lever that meets on the lower frame and barrel assembly that pushes the ejector out with force, sending brass (or aluminum) flying.

The flying brass is one of the things I like most about the Schofield and Webley family experience - the ejection is part of the whole shooting experience.

I've loaded the cylinder with the aluminum Blasers and chosen an appropriate background so thee ejector can easily be see.

S & W 686PP

Hey Berettaman:
I bought a S & W 686PP about three years ago. I love shooting this gun especially on single action. Great gun! Highly recommend! This one is by my bed every night loaded and ready. You can't go wrong with a S & W wheel gun!
