Due to the intricacies of the design and for safety purposes, I personally would just flip the cylinder open, unload and dry fire in a safe direction to decock the hammer if needed. Instead, what looks like a hammer is actually a lever used to cock and carefully decock the internal hammer.
The Rhino does not actually have an external hammer. Actually, more likely aliens because it resembles a gun out of a science-fiction movie.
#Chiappa rhino 6 movie
You pick it up and feel like you are on a Hollywood movie set, ready to fight some bad guys. My friends and I joked that the Rhino 60DS should have a speaker built in so it could play Clint Eastwood’s famous line from Dirty Harry: “You’ve got to ask yourself one question: ‘Do I feel lucky?’ Well, do ya, punk?” It’s just a beast the Rhino makes you instantly feel cool. I had to keep reminding myself that this baby is a 9mm, not a. If you sit back and look at the gun, the business end almost resembles an actual rhino, horn and all. You might think it’s beautiful or ugly, but it’s an impressive-looking revolver. One thing is certain: The Chiappa Rhino will turn heads at the range. I received a matte black 9mm with a 6-inch barrel for testing. Options also include a 2-, 4-, 5- or 6-inch barrel. Chiappa offers the Rhino in either matte black or with a brushed nickel finish. The 60DS that I received for testing weighs in at just under 33 ounces unloaded. The vitals are all made of steel, but aluminum alloy construction everywhere else helps cut weight. It is a very squared-off-looking revolver, CNC-machined from a block of high tensile aluminum alloy.Īlmost all of the Rhino’s components, except those exposed to combustion forces like the barrel, cylinder and action, are CNC machined, which creates a precision fit with very tight tolerances. The hexagonal shape of the cylinder makes this revolver one of the slimmest of its size on the market and adds to the Rhino’s appearance. The Rhino has a hexagonal cylinder and, as mentioned, fires from the bottom chamber. The design also incorporates ergonomic engineering so that the gun fits the average hand well, has easy-to-reach control surfaces and operates much like a traditional wheelgun. Chiappa states that the recoil is reduced up to 60 percent over similar standard wheelguns. With the barrel directly in line with the top of the shooter’s hand, recoil and muzzle flip are reduced, assisting the shooter with more accurate follow-up shots or rapid-fire shooting. Firing from the bottom chamber of the cylinder, this design allows the barrel to be positioned lower in the frame. And while the company is not the first to experiment with this design, it was the first to do so successfully. The gun is named after Chiappa owner Rino Chiappa, but the moniker definitely fits the design well. Ghisoni passed away in 2008, leaving us with his final creation. Designed by Emilio Ghisoni and Antonio Cudazzo, it resembles Ghisoni’s earlier design, the Mateba Autorevolver, which was introduced in 1997. In 2009, Chiappa Firearms had a different idea when it developed the Rhino.
