The Beretta Laramie is a single-action revolver produced by Beretta. It is modeled after the Smith & Wesson Model 3.[1]

The Laramie has an automatic safety on the hammer consisting of a sliding bar. After each shot, the bar automatically positions itself between the hammer and the frame, preventing accidental discharge.[2] The bar also blocks the barrel releasing device and the rotation of the cylinder. The revolver can be transported safely when the hammer is in the half-cock notch, in this position the cylinder is able to rotate and the barrel can be opened for loading or unloading.[2]
