Chiappa's distinctive Rhino 40DS revolver chambers potent 44 Magnum rounds from a 4-inch barrel with adjustable sights and black finish. Unique low-bore-axis design reduces recoil and muzzle rise.
The Chiappa Rhino 40DS represents a departure from traditional revolver design, and that's precisely its strength. This Italian-made firearm chambers the formidable 44 Magnum cartridge—one of the most powerful handgun rounds available—in a package that manages recoil with genuine effectiveness.
Traditional revolver geometry places the bore axis high above your hand, creating leverage that amplifies felt recoil. The Rhino's low-bore-axis design moves the barrel closer to your grip, reducing this mechanical disadvantage. The result: a 44 Magnum that's genuinely shootable, even for those with moderate hand strength.
Serious hunters and sport shooters who demand power without punishment. The 44 Magnum is capable of taking large game and performing at extended distances. The Rhino's ergonomics make it accessible to a broader range of shooters than conventional magnum revolvers.
This is a firearm for those who value function over convention.
