Sadly, Ghisoni died before the Chiappa Rhino could really take off, but it's established a niche for itself. 357 Magnum and other powerful rounds, which many owners and reviewers have noted about the Rhino. That's what basically every other pistol on earth does, and since reducing recoil aids accuracy.so much the better. This projects the recoil force straight back into the hand rather than the barrel sitting above the wrist, thereby creating a moment arm and subjecting the wrist to torque. Ghisoni, an engineer by training and a keen target shooter, installed the barrel on the bottom of the frame instead of the top when inventing the Mateba. The Rhino was designed in part by Emilio Ghisoni, inventor of the Mateba Autorevolver. Some love 'em, some hate 'em….but you can't deny that it's an original. The Chippa Rhino is arguably the most original thing to be done in wheelgun design in living memory. With basic care, it'll last the rest of your life. Granted, entry price is a bit stiff (expect to spend around $600 or more) but remember that this is a Ruger. There's also a 9mm model with a machined cylinder face for using moon clips. You can opt for 2.25-inch, 3-inch or 4.2-inch barrels and there are multiple calibers available including. A bit of extra heft, therefore, is actually a good thing. 357 Magnum snubby knows that it just hurts. The novel design comes at a price - MSRP is over 1,000 but in-store is 750 to 800 for the basic black edition - but what you get is snubby revolver that most owners and reviewers run as well as a full-size. The stronger latching system and beefed-up frame come at the cost of weight, as the base model weighs in at 26 ounces. The 200 series has a 2-inch barrel, and the slab-sided cylinder holds 6 of. Additionally, and this is an aspect that matters when it comes to magnum revolvers, the cylinder is triple-locking, latching in place at the cylinder, and at the bottom and top of the cylinder crane. It has a beefier frame than most five-shot revolvers, including a thicker top strap. The Ruger SP101 is one of the few snubbies that's built to handle. You'll probably be able to pick up a Cobra for a bit cheaper, but good deals are out there. 38 Special isn't too hard on guns, so an old gun in good shape will still be a viable carry gun. Why bother with such an old gun? A few reasons. 38 Special rather than five, so you do get one extra in case that counts for you. The Colt snubbies were known for being slightly larger than the J-frame Smith and Wessons, being about halfway between a J-frame and K-frame in size. The Detective Special was a perennial favorite of plainclothes police officers and uniform cops for use as a backup gun or for off-duty carry. The difference between the two is about 6 ounces of weight. The original Cobra looks just like the Detective Special, but the frame is made from an aluminum alloy. If you want to carry a classic concealed carry revolver, look for Colt Detective Special or Cobra revolvers.
