The Chiappa Rhino 200DS: A Modern Take on Revolver Design
The Chiappa Rhino 200DS represents a departure from conventional revolver geometry. Its most distinctive feature is the low-bore-axis design—the cylinder sits lower relative to the shooter's hand, which reduces muzzle rise and recoil felt during firing. This makes follow-up shots faster and more controllable, particularly important when shooting the potent .357 Magnum cartridge.
