Chiappa Rhino 40SAR 357 Magnum Revolver
Innovative Chiappa Rhino 357 Magnum with unique bottom-firing design that reduces muzzle rise and recoil. Features 4-inch nickel barrel, hexagonal cylinder, Picatinny rail, and fiber optic front sight.
The Rhino Advantage
The Chiappa Rhino represents a genuine departure from conventional revolver design. By firing from the bottom of the cylinder rather than the top, it dramatically reduces muzzle rise and felt recoil—lowering the bore axis nearly to your hand. This geometry makes follow-up shots faster and more accurate, particularly important in defensive situations.
Design and Construction
The Rhino's lightweight aluminum alloy frame and barrel shroud make it easy to carry without sacrificing durability. Its innovative hexagonal cylinder keeps the revolver's profile narrow, enhancing concealability. The nickel-plated finish provides both corrosion resistance and a professional appearance.
Practical Features
Accessory Rail: Picatinny rail on the barrel's underside accepts lights and lasers for tactical versatility.
Firing Mechanism: The snag-resistant hammer functions as a cocking device only—the Rhino's completely enclosed firing mechanism allows both single-action and double-action operation.
Cocking Indicator: A visible indicator clearly shows internal hammer status at a glance.
Sights: Fiber optic front sight provides excellent visibility in varied lighting conditions.
