Chiappa Rhino

The Rhino is Revolver produced by the Italian firearms company Chiappa (previously Armi Chiappa) designed by Antonio Cudazzo and Emilio Ghisoni (designer of the Mateba series of revolvers). Similarly to the Mateba, this revolver fires from the bottom chamber of the cylinder, creating a very low barrel axis and a more manageable amount of recoil. The pistol is available in a variety of barrel lengths, with a black, polished stainless steel, or brushed nickel finish.
