The Rhino is the least interesting gun Chiappa makes.

Guess I'm the only one who hates the Rhino and is interested in their repros.
I've seen the Rhino, and a few of their other guns. I'm not terribly impressed with either.
They do have some repro gun models that other companies don't, and that makes it tempting, but personally I'd rather go with Uberti or Pedersoli, even if I have to get other guns.
Just my personal opinion though.
I agree.

I got a 5" .357 for my 60th birthday last year and while I haven't shot it as much as I would have liked it is sweet gun and bloody accurate...It is my first centerfire revolver in any calibre other then .41 Rem mag that I've owned and I still can't get used to the lack of recoil.

Ugly as sin with an excellent mechanical design.
