Chiappa Rhino 40DS 9mm Revolver - 4" Barrel
Innovative 6-shot revolver with bottom-firing cylinder that dramatically reduces recoil and muzzle rise. Lightweight aluminum frame, enclosed hammer, fiber optic front sight, and distinctive hexagonal cylinder design.
The Rhino: Revolutionary Revolver Design
The Chiappa Rhino represents a genuine breakthrough in revolver technology. Its most distinctive feature—firing from the bottom of the cylinder rather than the top—fundamentally changes how the revolver performs in the shooter's hand.
How It Works
By lowering the bore axis nearly to the palm of your hand, the Rhino dramatically reduces both muzzle rise and felt recoil. This isn't a marketing claim; it's physics. The lower bore axis means less rotational force fighting your grip, resulting in faster target reacquisition and improved control.
Innovative Features
Firing Mechanism: The Rhino's completely enclosed firing system operates in both single-action and double-action modes. What appears to be a hammer is actually a cocking device—there's nothing to snag on clothing or holsters.
Hexagonal Cylinder: The unique six-sided cylinder keeps the revolver's overall width minimal, making it easier to carry and conceal.
Construction: An aluminum alloy frame and barrel shroud keep weight down without sacrificing durability. The blued steel cylinder provides corrosion resistance.
Sights: A fiber optic front sight aids target acquisition in various lighting conditions. A cocking indicator clearly shows internal hammer status.
