Chiappa Rhino
 
Just picked it up a few days ago! I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, but I love how it feels in the hand - I'm normally not a fan of wooden grips on revolvers, but so far I like it.

Great looking gun, congrats!

Kind of odd they have all hex screws and then a flat head screw out of nowhere.

Deltasigma 11-01-2013 9:29 PM

Looks great and from the reviews, you'll enjoy it at the range. Where did you acquire this piece?

Thanks! I got it at Riflegear.

That looks really cool. Like it came from a comic book. Please update with a range report. What's the trigger like?

The trigger is OK. In single action, the pull is very light (don't have my gauge on me at the moment), but slightly mushy... it doesn't feel like a typical single action revolver trigger. Double action is very smooth, but just a tad heavy for my taste. I certainly wouldn't say the trigger is bad, but it's not amazing either. We'll see how it feels after I put a number of rounds downrange :D

What's the red dot?

J20DB 11-02-2013 12:38 PM

It indicates if the hammer is cocked. The hammer is internal; the "hammer" you can see from the outside is actually a cocking lever, and even if you cock the hammer, it returns to the forward position.

Acemcginty 11-02-2013 10:38 PM

Did you buy this in california?

J20DB 11-02-2013 10:45 PM

Yes - Riflegear in Fountain Valley can sell these via SSE. www.riflegear.com

Pro quality photos

Truly excellent photography.

But I am still having a hard time seeing the beauty of the firearm itself.

I guess the classic design is too deeply embedded in my mind as the norm.

:cool:

BigPimping 11-09-2013 6:58 AM

How much was that cool toy?

IVth Horseman 11-09-2013 2:21 PM

Jealous, I love it. And great photography to match!

Modo 11-09-2013 7:13 PM

Great gun. Just bought the 60ds in gold. Yes yes, a safe queen but hunting the white Rhino 2 inch snub nose for range and HD.

Firerescuebatt07 11-09-2013 7:31 PM

how are these guns? I see them every now and then but no one talks about them.

tonelar 11-09-2013 7:36 PM

How do you SSE a revolver?

Looking good!

They convert it to single-action only, either by removing a piece or installing a modified part (I'm honestly not sure), then you can convert it back after buying it. I suppose SAE would be a more appropriate term to use!

beastmode986 11-12-2013 3:32 PM

Space gun lol!

MrExel17 01-26-2014 10:30 AM

WANT!!!

boukca 01-26-2014 10:37 AM

Damn!

pvl925 01-26-2014 12:42 PM

damn it now i want one.

HeHateMe 01-26-2014 12:49 PM

That's awesome. I keep thinking Rick Deckard.

hermosabeach 01-26-2014 1:48 PM

It's been a few months OP-

How many rounds down range?
Follow up thoughts?

ventipossum 02-07-2014 6:21 PM

Nice looking revolver. Reminds me of the MaTeba revolvers.

How does it shoot?

Does it have the ability to fire .38 SPL or .38 SPL+P?

The Gleam 02-09-2014 1:01 AM

As weird and complex as their internals look, I still seem to want to get one. Good-looking guns and the low bore axis is quite desirable. :)

r8dr rider 02-09-2014 7:54 AM

That is an effin beauty. Looks like it was in Blade Runner

Sutcliffe 02-09-2014 9:57 AM

Not a fan of the looks or design
 
But, interested in how it shoots. I can forgive many things if it's a shooter.
Looking forward to you opinion after owning for a while.

pauloween 02-09-2014 9:24 PM

very nice
 
a bit different, but very nice.
please tell us more about it after shooting it.
thanks for posting this beauty.


reduce, reuse, recycle

Ezekiel2000 02-10-2014 8:28 PM

Not mine but my friends. This is the .357 version and we were shooting it with 38 specials. Almost no recoil at all. Very soft shooting gun, little to no muzzle flip...nice.

Love the gold, bling factor is high! :)

That gold piece is awesome. Cartel approved. I want one!

CK_32 02-15-2014 5:57 PM

I'm still not sure if those are sexy as hell.. Or fugly as hell...


But I want to shoot one.

It's a little of both but in person the sexiness definitely wins out.
Doesn't hurt that it's more than just a gimmick and really is a good shooter too.

amgc36 03-19-2014 9:35 AM

Love it, but gold may be too gaudy for me. Looks like another handgun to add to the back of the line on that 1-in-30. Oh well.

Has anyone fired the 4, 5 and 6 inch versions and be able to comment on kick and recoil? I'm thinking the 50DS or 5 inch version.

Border Collie 05-22-2014 8:09 PM

Not sure how i feel about these, a bit expensive though.

daorozco86 05-22-2014 8:51 PM

Looks like the one from hellboy

harmoniums 05-23-2014 6:48 PM

I have a 40DS, the 4 inch barreled one.
It's my favorite revolver to shoot and the one I'm most accurate with.
I've put 1200 rounds of 38spl +p through it without a hiccup.
I've got revolvers that are considered "nicer" than this (eg pythons), but this is the one I like the best.
I'll be keeping it and looking for a two inch snubbie

Jesse77 08-28-2014 10:39 PM

Thank you for providing a link to Riflegear! Ive been looking for one of these for some time now.
