Chiappa 340289: The Rhino represents a revolutionary advancement in the field of revolver technology. Its unique design permits firing from the cylinder's bottom rather than the top, effectively lowering the bore axis to almost hand-level. This innovative arrangement significantly curtails muzzle rise and recoil. The Rhino's frame and barrel shroud are constructed from an aluminum alloy, which renders it both lightweight and easy to handle. This modern revolver features a snag-resistant 'hammer,' a feature that doubles as a cocking device due to the Rhino's fully enclosed firing mechanism. This mechanism supports both single and double action. A clearly visible cocked indicator signifies the status of the internal hammer. The Rhino also introduces a unique hexagonal cylinder that minimizes the revolver's width. Each model comes with a prominent, included fiber optic front sight.
The model in question features a sturdy 3" barrel and an attractive black anodized metal finish.
