Chiappa Rhino 4"

Recommended Posts

Picked up a Chiappa Rhino 4" in .357 this weekend from Tony @ TJ's, once again, smooth easy transaction as always... Only fired a few rounds thru it today @ Dix and CJ, but so far, I like it. I have only put a few rounds of .357, but I'm looking forward to trying out some .38 this week hopefully..

 

It's so ugly, it's cool looking.. I have not shot many .357's, so I can't honestly compare the recoil from a traditional barrel setup.. Recoil was minimal, with a bit of a "bite" into the palm of your hand, I'm sure grip had some to do with that, along with the low barrel. Trigger pull is super light when cocking hammer is used and it's fits my hand nicely. overall it looks like it could be a fun gun.. here's some cell pics..

How is the quality?

 

I'm really impressed with the quality, the fit n finish is really nice, all parts are tight and meant to be together, nothing sloppy. It has a pretty beefy build to it. I'd say it's built pretty well...

 

Tony, the muzzle flip is "almost"" non existent, and thats with .357, very easy to keep on target. I'll probably have it @ SS on Tuesday night if anyone cares to shoot it.

Wow, that mechanism looks Rube-Goldberg-esque. Didn't I see that in the game mousetrap?

 

Anyway, good luck with it. I've liked the Rhinos since I first saw them. Is the hammer easy to cock? The small tang on it makes me wonder.

It's not too bad, non trigger thumb no problem, two thumbs super easy..

Congrats Don. It's sweet.

 

I read about these in Guns & Ammo I believe and when we saw the booth at Shot, we looked for a while. Very cool gun.

 

Yeah, it's funny cause on the flight out to Vegas for SHOT, I watched an episode of Guns n Ammo TV, where they featured the Rhino lineup. They all received great reviews, the SHOT booth and playing with each model and the cutaway is what sold me..

 

Not being a Revolver guy, but wanting one to add to the stable, I think this was a nice fit.

    • So, as I interpret things, you get a hit on #1. It says nothing about feeding from said magazine, just that the magazine attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip. And it is attached. Was this what was considered when it was written? 100% no. However, this is NJ and I don't think they would give you an inch when as written it covers it in plain english.  #2 would be a hard yes if you put a threaded barrel on your setup, so I'd not do that.  #3... well it's not a shroud, but it does allow you to hold the firearm with the nontrigger hand without being burned. Shroud is ill defined, and it could be argued to partially enshroud the barrel from the bottom. I would bet cash money that the AG would gladly say that second part there is to clarify the intent of the law and that since you can do that, you violated the stated intent of the law. 
    • I don't know why we ( NJ gun organizations ) have not yet filed a lawsuit on "duty to inform"  A clear violation of the constitution 5th and probably 4th.  Maybe this guys lawyer will and get that charge dropped.  what other right do you need to inform a law enforcement officer of.    are you required to identify as a republican or democrat during an encounter, and by the way,  what constitutes an encounter.  voluntary? involuntary?   time to get this one knocked down. come on ANJRPC stop waiting for court decisions and go on the attack.
    • Right, each location will have a different set of Repeater frequencies you can use in your area.  You could also just have 2 sets of CHIRP files ready to go and make sure you have the ability to program them quickly in a SHTF situation.  Maybe dedicate at least one radio for each location with specific programming, and then when you get there you can re-program the radios you take with you with the programming specific to that location.   More expensive radios have the ability to program them via your phone app and BT connection.
