Chiappa Rhino 60DS .357 Magnum Revolver

The Chiappa Rhino 60DS: Engineering Excellence in Revolver Design

The Chiappa Rhino 60DS represents a departure from conventional revolver architecture. This .357 Magnum is built around a principle that challenges traditional firearm design: the low bore axis.

Innovative Engineering

The defining feature of the Rhino 60DS is its bottom-chamber firing system. Rather than firing from the traditional top position, this revolver chambers and fires from the lowest point of the cylinder. This engineering choice delivers measurable benefits:

• Reduced muzzle rise — The low bore axis keeps the barrel aligned with your hand, minimizing upward movement during recoil
• Decreased felt recoil — Energy transfer is optimized, making the revolver more controllable
• Faster follow-up shots — Less muzzle movement means quicker target reacquisition

Construction and Durability

The Rhino 60DS is built to last. Its frame is machined from 7075-T6 aluminum alloy, a material chosen for its strength-to-weight ratio. The cylinder and barrel are steel, providing the durability required for .357 Magnum pressures. At just 2 pounds, this revolver balances substance with shootability.

Aesthetics and Ergonomics

The Nebula PVD finish provides a distinctive appearance while offering corrosion resistance. The blue laminate wood grips complement the finish and provide a secure, comfortable hold. The 6-inch barrel offers excellent sight radius and velocity for .357 Magnum loads.

Sighting System

Adjustable fiber optic rear sights ensure you can dial in your point of aim. The bright fiber optic elements provide quick target acquisition in varied lighting conditions.

A Revolver for the Thinking Shooter

The Chiappa Rhino 60DS is for those who appreciate engineering innovation and are willing to embrace a different approach to revolver shooting. It delivers genuine performance advantages backed by thoughtful design.
