CHIAPPA FIREARMS RHINO 60DS .357 MAGNUM REVOLVER
The CHIAPPA FIREARMS RHINO 60DS stands as a distinct departure from conventional revolver design, engineered to optimize recoil management and deliver consistent performance. This .357 Magnum revolver integrates a unique low bore axis, positioning the barrel directly in line with the shooter’s hand, effectively redirecting recoil forces horizontally into the arm rather than upward, thus mitigating muzzle rise and facilitating faster, more accurate follow-up shots.
Key Features
- Recoil Mitigation System: The primary design innovation of the Rhino series is its low bore axis, firing from the 6 o’clock chamber. This configuration significantly reduces felt recoil and muzzle flip, enhancing control during rapid firing sequences.
- Precision Machined Construction: The frame is precision machined from Ergal (7075-T6 aluminum alloy) for a robust yet lightweight structure. The barrel and internal components are crafted from high-grade steel to ensure durability and operational longevity.
- Dual Action / Single Action (DA/SA): Offers both double-action for immediate response and single-action for enhanced precision, providing operational versatility for various shooting scenarios.
- Nickel Finish: The durable nickel plating provides superior corrosion resistance and a low-friction surface, contributing to the revolver’s resilience and ease of maintenance.
- Adjustable Sights: Equipped with an optical fiber front sight and a fully adjustable rear sight, allowing for precise zeroing and target acquisition across different ranges and ammunition types.
- Ergonomic Grip: Features an ergonomic, textured grip designed to provide a secure and comfortable hold, further aiding in control and recoil absorption.
