The Chiappa Rhino is the most innovative development in revolver technology in decades, if not since the creation of the revolver itself. Refusing to be constrained by tradition and previous design limitations, the Rhino has improvements that move the revolver forward into the 21st century.
Unconventional in appearance and superior by performance, the Rhino 40SAR fires from the bottom of the cylinder rather than the top. This dramatically reduces muzzle rise and recoil felt by lowering the axis of the bore almost to the palm of the shooter’s hand. An aluminum alloy frame and barrel shroud make the Chiappa Rhino 40SAR lightweight and easy to carry. Its accessory rails on the bottom of the barrel easily allow mounting lights or lasers.
The snag resistant hammer is actually a cocking device because of the Chiappa Rhino’s innovative completely enclosed firing mechanism which can be fired either single or double action. A cocked indicator is clearly visible to indicate the internal hammer status. Another innovation is the hexagonal cylinder which keeps the revolver’s width to a minimum. It comes with an easy to see fiber optic front sight and three moon clips.
