The Rhino .357 Magnum Revolver


Chiappa Firearm’s newest gun is a weird shaped .357 Magnum revolver with some interesting features and it's called the Rhino.

This Italian made revolver has unique design that puts the barrel low so recoil is transferred to the center of your hand and travels in line with your forearm hence reducing the effects of felt recoil.

Here are some specs:

* Caliber: .357 magnum (and of course .38 Special)
* Barrel Lengths: 2,3,4,5, and 6-inch (4-inch shown in image)
* Basic weight 25-ounces with a 4-inch barrel
* Frame Material: Ergal (a high-strength aluminum alloy)
* Metal finish: Blued or brushed alloy and stainless steel (stainless version first available in U.S.)
* Stocks: Composite rubber or wood. One piece, retained by a single screw at the butt.
* Capacity: 6-rounds
* Final fit and finish work done in U.S.A.
* Stainless Polished Version Price (MSRP) 2- and 3-inch, $775; 4-inch, $899; 5-inch, $925; 6-inch, $980.
* Availability: Stainless versions expected mid-May or early-June 2010.

*****Update this gun is now available in .40S&W click here to read the post.
