SIGHTING True to the historic originals, all Beretta Stampede models come equipped with fixed sights. (Fig. 1-D, 2-E) Therefore, all windage (left/right) and elevation (up/down) adjustments are controlled with the front sight. Your revolver's barrel length and the load used can affect a bullet's accuracy, trajectory (path of the bullet in flight) and point of impact on the target. Altering the point of aim (where the gun is aimed) relative to the point of impact (where the bullet strikes the target) for a fixed-sight gun may require the assistance of a competent gunsmith. FIRING To fire your Beretta Stampede single-action revolver, follow the steps below: ! WARNING: Always wear high-quality eye and ear protection when firing any firearm. Be certain that others near-by are wearing high-quality eye and ear protection and are to the rear of the shooter, when firing any firearm. ! WARNING: Do not touch the trigger until you are ready to shoot and are sure of your target and backstop. 1. Load the firearm using the loading procedures above. 2. Place your shooting hand on the grip so that if you look down your forearm there is an imaginary line straight down your forearm and along the barrel. (Fig. 15) 3. Place the index finger of your shooting hand OUTSIDE the trigger guard and wrap the lower three fingers and thumb of your shooting hand around the grip. 4. If necessary, use your other hand for support, being sure to keep it rearward of the trigger. (Fig. 16) 31

SIGHTING
True to the historic originals, all Beretta Stampede models come
equipped with fixed sights.
(Fig. 1-D, 2-E)
Therefore, all windage
(left/right) and elevation (up/down) adjustments are controlled
with the front sight.
Your revolver’s barrel length and the load
used can affect a bullet’s accuracy, trajectory (path of the bullet
in flight) and point of impact on the target.
Altering the point of
aim (where the gun is aimed) relative to the point of impact
(where the bullet strikes the target) for a fixed-sight gun may
require the assistance of a competent gunsmith.

To fire your Beretta Stampede single-action revolver, follow the
steps below:

firing any firearm.
Be certain that others near-by are wearing
high-quality eye and ear protection and are to the rear of the
shooter, when firing any firearm.
WARNING:
Do not touch the trigger until you are ready to shoot
and are sure of your target and backstop.
1. Load the firearm using the loading procedures above.
2. Place your shooting hand on the grip so that if you look down
your forearm there is an imaginary line straight down your
forearm and along the barrel.
(Fig. 15)
3. Place the index finger of your shooting hand OUTSIDE the
trigger guard and wrap the lower three fingers and thumb of
your shooting hand around the grip.
4. If necessary, use your other hand for support, being sure to
