Offered here in .357 Magnum and the bullet doesn't exit the firearm as they do in a traditional revolver or pistol. In a traditional handgun design, the bullet chambers are at the top of the cylinder or magazine and fire down the barrel. The barrel is at the top of the weapon. In a Chiappa Rhino the barrel is set in the middle of the revolver, and fires from a chamber at the bottom of the cylinder. This design creates some very unique characteristics when fired. The recoil drives back into the palm of your hand, and the upward motion created in traditional designs is significantly reduced, creating a recoil pattern that is easier to control. The initial phase of learning how to sight accurately and hit the target takes a little time, but once it is mastered, accuracy is improved as well. Add to the unique design of the handgun the manufacturing process and the futuristic nature of the Rhino are further amplified. Chiappa begins production of each Rhino with a single, solid piece of aluminum for the frame and a single piece of high-quality steel for the working mechanism. The aluminum and steel are then individually carved from that solid stock via a CNC process that cuts each raw section of metal into the finely milled result. This is a different process than other manufacturers use in producing their revolvers. The final result is a revolver that looks like something Hans Solo might carry, rather than Wyatt Earp, but the quality is unsurpassed. It has a 6 shot cylinder, picatinny accessory rail for light and lasers, stippled wood grips with Rhino logo, and adjustable Hi-Viz sights. Includes factory case with papers. Appears un fired.
