Chiappa Rhino = WOW

[CH4]

Yep. Looks like a staple gun with tape dispenser.

Similarly, and to my eye almost as homely, is the HK P7 squeeze cock. Always reminded me of a Dymo label maker. The Chiappa is kinda Capt. Kirk meets Josey Wales. Nonetheless, the more choices, the better.

On the TV show Covert Affairs, the lead, a female, carried one. I assume because she was of slight build and it packed a big punch. And it stood out. Hers was a 3" or 4" model I believe.

Doesn't the odd cylinder actually make it thinner?

It's slightly thinner than a K frame cylinder, but it's actually a bit larger than it has to be because they make a .40 S&W version as well.

They look alright. A tool form follows function in that respect I think they look good but they don't have the nostalgia no history with that look that's why people say ugly. I read a story about RFID chips. I wonder what ever happened.

Here one is sounds like fiction...

if i might be excused for re-igniting a 3 yr old thread, i wish to voice my opinion that the 4" rhino is a future-classic. i think it has interesting and beautiful lines - unique and very original. it just needs to show up in the right venue, say, in the hand of the right movie star in the right movie (like dirty harry selling all those 44 magnums). or becoming a favorite of some respected gun writer.

i really want to fire one and if it's possible, buy one. it's never bothered me to be different.
