Description
Product Overview
The Chiappa Rhino 40DS is a six-shot .357 Mag revolver built around the Rhino platform's distinctive low-bore-axis design. Its barrel aligns with the bottom chamber, lowering the center of gravity and bringing the bore closer to the shooter's hand for reduced muzzle rise and more manageable recoil. The four-inch barrel provides a practical balance of handling, sight radius, and ballistic performance, while the flat-sided cylinder gives the revolver a slimmer profile than conventional designs. This configuration features a Blue/Black finish, wood grips, and night sights for dependable target acquisition in changing light. The double-action mechanism supports both deliberate single-action fire and rapid double-action operation.

I got this from Buds...
I got this from Buds and just over procrastination to review. Buds is always great to deal with - fast and simple. The design of the guns appeals to me. Words like funky, purposefully ugly, oddball come to mind but it all comes together and works the way it is supposed to. I am surprised that other manufacturers haven't found a way to copy it. Shooting through the lower cylinder brings the recoil straight back rather than tending to lift the muzzle. Yeah! - this actually works as advertised. The gun is relatively light weight compared to the 357s of similar size. it handles 38 Spcl and Plus P ammo like a 22lr. It makes for very accurate shooting. Moving to 357 Magnum, I feel a heavier concussion through my arm and with the 4" barrel there was some dramatic muzzle flash. But, the sense of recoil is totally controllable with noticeable lack of muzzle flip. Its easy to get back on target for follow up shots and, it, oh yes, very accurate. I didn't imagine that the shape of the grip was going to be as comfortable as it has turned out. Pointing is very natural. My wife has a S&W 686 Plus which is great revolver. She loves it but avoids shooting magnum which even with a heavy gun like this can have a bit of a kick. Controllable yes but she doesn't like the extra drama so sticks with 38 Spcl and plus P does just fine for her. She has shot this and likes it but will always call her 686 her favorite. I like her gun also but when it comes to revolvers, this wins for me.

It is a fantastic...
It is a fantastic pleasure shooting the Rhino 357 revolver: almost no muzzle flip; only the big bang fun of the 357 magnum :) For a full-size 4 inch barrel revolver, the weight is quite light and profile is slim (due to the flat style cylinder profile). Going to be one of my carry accessories.

Great unique firearm...
Great unique firearm with a wonderful design to handle the recoil. Took it to the range the second I got it from my ffl and put 100 rounds down range flawlessly. I love my colt revolvers but this gun has earned my admiration.
