The Rhino represents one of the most significant innovations in revolver design in recent decades. By firing from the bottom of the cylinder rather than the top, it substantially reduces muzzle rise and felt recoil by positioning the bore axis nearly at the shooter’s hand level. An aluminum alloy frame and barrel shroud keep the gun lightweight and manageable to carry. The snag-resistant cocking device—which functions as the “hammer”—works with the Rhino’s completely enclosed firing mechanism, enabling both single and double-action operation. A cocked indicator provides clear visibility of the internal hammer’s status. The hexagonal cylinder is another distinctive feature, minimizing the revolver’s overall width. A fiber optic front sight comes standard.
This Chiappa model ships with a 3″ barrel and nickel metal finish.
