Glad to hear it worked out for you. Enjoy.

Yeah, shooing thumbs forward style with some hot magnum loads could definitely harsh your mello!

 

I once got my thumb next to the cylinder gap on a little NAA mini 22LR revolver and that stung pretty good. Not enough to hurt, but enough to remind you that you're doing it wrong.

 

Here's the muzzle blast of some of my "hot" 357 mag handloads. I think you might end up with more than your knuckle hair singed.

 

 

 

 

 

And here's the venerable 44 mag with another rather stout handload. I think the guy shooting next to me got his knuckle hair singed from the side blast on this.

 

 

Geez..hopefully you don't plan to use them for HD in a dark environment. It would be like getting the visual part of a flashbang.

I was thinking the same thing about the HD on those guns LOL. I haven't fired the magnum rounds yet, as they are not allowed at the local range. Hopefully this weekend I will get to PA and try it out.

I have 2 things that concern me with the Rhino - Since it shoots from the lower barrel, you really have to watch your grip - a conventional thumbs forward grip will get your weak hand blasted......

 

Also, with the low bore axis, doesn't that make for a high height over bore for sighting purposes?

 

Just so you know, a thumbs forward grip with most revolvers cna cause you physical injury, especially with a magnum cartridge. Especially if you don't have short stubby thumbs.

 

As for height over bore axis, it's probably an inch max. So at worst, you get sight offset issues of up to an inch. For most practical purposes it is negligible.
