Chiappa Rhino .357 MAG

[JAMMIN]

This is quite the interesting new gun. Just read the new Combat Handguns kinda cool, needs a laser in the forehead waisted space, but neat.

I really want one just for the looks. Word on the street is that it's a pretty average revolver, all things considered.

I wonder if they are associated with Mateba? My friend had the semi-auto revolver in .44; looked something like this:

I don't think the company is, but the same gentleman did initial design on both pistols.

Both the Mateba and the Chiappa were designed by the same guy.

ETA: TheRoland beat me to it.

Sorry to bump this ancient thread, but does anyone know if this revolver is sold in Mass? I want something that will make my Glocks feel pretty.

They come up for sale occasionally. I think I remember seeing "flotter" listing one for sale in the classifieds here not too long ago.

I think the first time I ever saw a picture of one was in a "ugliest gun" thread

I kinda like it. Not enough to pay asking prices for one, but still.

I think that the Rhino is even uglier than a Glock.

I forget what movie Jessica Biel carried one in, but remember thinking, "The prop guy should be fired for not giving her a 1911"

Maybe you're thinking of Kate Beckinsale in Total Recall?

Gun broker prices don't look too bad. Is there a considerable Mass price premium?
