Chiappa Rhino WTF?

[Burk Cornelius]

I didn't know whether to put this in TV shows or here. I have seen this gun in two recent scenes, Total Recall movie (the new one) and last night on the TV show Covert Affairs.

These things are freaky ugly and expensive (+-$800) Has anyone ever seen one in real life. I think If you pulled that on a bad guy they might just laugh and say get that **** out of my face, and walk off. (ala semi-pro)

I've seen George Wehby use one on Personal Defense TV but that's just because they are paying for his show

I've seen one in a gun shop. They are ugly. Interesting concept, though. Never shot one.

Well if you ever attended the Heartland matches, you would've seen one in their display case
They're just like strippers on a Tuesday night, ugly as sin and far more expensive than necessary.

One of our Italian team members shot this gun at the World Finals last year. I got to play with it a little. It feels pretty good in the hand and handles recoil pretty well. it was very reliable and Giorgio did not have in issues with the gun for the entire match.​

I still want to shoot one

I haven't been in a while either. Just doesn't seem worth the entry fee, but that's another story.

Who sells them in Oklahoma or does anybody know who the distributor is?

I've shot one. Meh, they shoot alright for a revo. They have very little sight lift.

Heartland outdoors had one a couple months back. Haven't been up there since so I couldn't say if its still there or not.

 

[Jackary]

Heartland had a couple the last time I was in there

 

[twss]

I've seen them at Sports World in Tulsa.

Yup. I've been to the last few matches there and that Rhino is still sitting in the display case.

They have a lot of internal moving parts. I have seen the trigger/cocking lever display model(clear cover over the internals) I highly recommend seeing that before you decide to buy, the more that moves the more that breaks in my experiance.

I haven't shot one yet, but I have read about it with great interest. I can think of some possibilities for revolver improvement with it. I imagine that the smart guys have several more generations designed. I hope they sell. You should all buy one.
