Chiappa Rhino 200DS 357 Magnum Revolver
Innovative 2-inch Rhino revolver fires from cylinder bottom to reduce recoil. Lightweight aluminum frame, enclosed hammer, hexagonal cylinder. Includes holster, moon clips, and tool.
The Rhino: Revolutionary Revolver Design
The Chiappa Rhino 200DS represents a genuine departure from conventional revolver engineering. By firing from the bottom of the cylinder rather than the top, this design dramatically reduces muzzle rise and felt recoil—a significant advantage for defensive shooters and those sensitive to recoil impulse.
Key Features
Innovative Lower Bore Axis The firing axis sits nearly at hand level, substantially lowering the mechanical advantage of recoil forces. This geometry makes the Rhino easier to control and faster to return to target compared to traditional revolvers.
Lightweight Construction An aluminum alloy frame and barrel shroud keep overall weight minimal without sacrificing durability. The 2-inch barrel makes this an excellent choice for concealed carry or backup duty.
Unique Firing Mechanism The Rhino features a completely enclosed firing system with a snag-resistant cocking device rather than a traditional exposed hammer. This design functions reliably in both single-action and double-action modes. A visible cocked indicator shows internal hammer status at a glance.
Compact Hexagonal Cylinder The distinctive six-sided cylinder minimizes the revolver's width, enhancing concealability without reducing capacity.
