Chiappa Rhino 200DS 357 Magnum Revolver
Innovative 357 Magnum revolver with bottom-firing cylinder design that reduces muzzle rise and recoil. Features nickel-plated steel barrel and cylinder, aluminum frame, 2-inch barrel, and 6-shot capacity.
The Rhino: Revolutionary Revolver Design
The Chiappa Rhino 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 shooters seeking better control and faster follow-up shots.
Key Design Features
Lower Bore Axis The firing axis sits nearly at the shooter's palm level, substantially lowering the mechanical advantage that causes muzzle climb. This geometry benefit applies equally to single-action and double-action shooting.
Innovative Firing Mechanism The Rhino employs a completely enclosed firing system with a snag-resistant cocking device rather than a traditional external hammer. A visible cocked indicator clearly shows internal hammer status, giving you positive feedback on the revolver's readiness.
Lightweight Construction An aluminum alloy frame and barrel shroud keep weight minimal without sacrificing durability, making the Rhino comfortable for extended carry and shooting sessions.
Hexagonal Cylinder The distinctive six-sided cylinder design minimizes the revolver's width profile, improving concealability and reducing printing in carry situations.
