New definition of ugly gun

[n4zov]

The new Chiappa Rhino Revolver adds new meaning to the term "ugly gun." Supposedly this new .357 will soon be introduced to the U.S. market. And some of you thought the Ruger LCR was challenged in the beauty department! More information:

It looks like it's only big enough for me to get 3 out of 5 fingers on the gun, aside from how ugly it is.

And what do you find wrong with it?? Its Italian and must have artistic value besides they think it's "very cool" looking" It fires fire the bottom. Geeze no accounting for taste.

Chiappa Rhino Revolver

Italian firearms manufacturer Armi Chiappa have developed a very cool looking .357 Magnum snubnosed revolver called the Chiappa Rhino Revolver.

It sure does resemble its namesake​

Its angular design and the fact that it fires from the bottom chamber, unlike most other revolvers, gives it an appearance that closely resembled the legendary Mateba Autorevolver. Having a barrel fire from the lower chamber is supposed to help tame recoil and reduce muzzle flip.
Specifications
Caliber 357 Mag. Capacity 6 rounds Barrel 2" Rate of twist 1:18.5" Weight 24 ounces

That bottom firing will apeal to a lot of people until a few of them have a ka-boom. I predict a few missing fingers in the future.

That is ugly. Don't know if anyone else saw this, but if you go to the link provided there is a person who goes by Chauss513, that makes "furniture" out of confiscated guns, if I read correctly. Seems to me there is a lot of illegal sawed off shotguns and rifles shown. Since he uses the frames, I believe that the BATFE would frown upon him doing this as it is manufacturing a class 3 weapon and selling them.

Uhhh..........no.

Finally something to give the Taurus Judge competition in the looks department.

Pretty is as pretty does. I'll reserve judgment until I can shoot one.

 

[Joni_Lynn]

Finally a gun more ugly than the super redhawk.

 

[Rule3]

I'm getting one and a Fiat.

 

[Andy Griffith]

It's nearly as ugly as a Blackhawk.


I wonder if it is as useful?

 

[sparky9]

Some things are so ugly, they're pretty. This ain't one of them.

 

[DougDubya1970]

It needs more cowbell.

 

[Bat Guano]

This is a photoshop joke, right?

Say it ain't so.

I really can't believe people are comparing the looks of this gun to a redhawk or blackhawk....

OK, the redhawk is a little odd with the out-of-place barrel, but the blackhawk is downright gorgeous!

It's true what they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
The chiappa, I behold to be quite hideous.

It's a stun gun.

When you pull it out for self-defense, the bad guy is frozen in disbelief.

I was with them on the Redhawk. Now the blackhawk, now that is just crazy talk. Besides, anyone who doesn't like the Blackhawk is just a racist!

 

[Joni_Lynn]

I didn't compare it to a Redhawk, I compared it to a Super Redhawk, different gun, lots more ugly. I like the Redhawk, especially in blue.

 

[Dan Cash]

It sure does look like a rhino. What will get people is the position of the trigger guard in relation to the barrel/cylinder gap. God help the two handed shooter; I believe they will take up the one handed grip quickly.
