Chiappa Rhino - the ideal revolver for concealed carry
Rhino is a revolver created as a weapon for self-defense and concealed carry. The most distinctive feature of the revolver is the extremely low barrel axis, which makes the Chiappa Rhino shoot from the lower chamber of the barrel, unlike traditional revolvers. This rare solution has already been successfully used in Mateba Unica revolvers and the Russian OC-38. The advantage of such a design is a drastically reduced barrel toss, quick return to the target, increased shooting comfort, as well as a more natural aiming point. The frame and barrel cover are made of aluminum alloy, making the Rhino lightweight and comfortable to carry. The aluminum frame is finished using the anodizing method, while the barrel is treated with so-called Blueing, which gives a blue-black finish and protects the steel from corrosion.
Chiappa Rhino revolver - the dream of every gun collector and sports shooter
The compact design of the trigger mechanism made it possible to reduce the dimensions of the frame, making the revolver shorter compared to other revolvers with a similar barrel length. An element that distinguishes the revolver is also the barrel, which is shaped like a rounded hexagonal prism. This causes the sides of the revolver to be flat in the manner of a pistol, which allows the weapon to be carried comfortably and discreetly close to the body. Thanks to this design, the outline of the revolver visible under clothing does not evoke associations with firearms. The revolver's rubberized handle has a mild profile, high-cut spur, which guarantees a comfortable and secure grip. The 30DS revolver uses a fiber-optic musket and a vertically and horizontally adjustable pincer.
