Default Chiappa Rhino

I want,

Quote:
The new Chiappa Rhino has revolutionized the revolver with a patented design that tames the prehistoric characteristic that most revolvers possess. The new Chiappa Rhino barrel is aligned with the bottom most chamber which is the key component to Rhino's tame characteristics. The position of the barrel lowers the center of gravity and yields a centerline of the bore more in line with the shooter's arm allowing for the most natural "point ability" while engaging a target. This characteristic also drastically reduces both recoil and muzzle flip which insures subsequent shots to be on target faster than ever before. The reduction of the recoil allows for the use of ultra light alloys to be used in the construction of the Rhino minimizing any adverse effect. The flat sided cylinder design of the Rhino reduces the typical revolver profile allowing greater concealment. With choices from 2" to 6" barrel lengths and sight options, the Rhino is truly a multipurpose handgun capable of reliable defensive duty, scoring ten rings, and taking game. Featuring both double and single action characteristics, the single action is actuated by a hammer cocking device that engages the unexposed hammer to prepare to fire.

I've heard that said about Hi Points. Don't remember for sure where but I have heard it.

Good thing about ugly is you don't need to shoot the mugger. He sees real ugly gun and that scares him into running away. Course most of the time seeing any gun would do that, but the ugly one makes them run faster.

I'll buy one once the price is no longer absolutely ridiculous. The low barrel axis should be a great help in controlling the .357 recoil, and it seems nice and compact. I'll stick with a 9mm subcompact until it gets below $400, though.

I finally got to handle both a .38 and .357 at a show yesterday. It didn't feel too bad although the grip was a bit small for my hand.
I'd purely love to shoot one. When I said that to the guy I was at the show with, the gal behind the desk helpfully piped up "That's easy! All you have to do is buy one of each"

SV, with a call that good, I suspect your order for one is sent in and you're waiting delivery with racing heart and baited breath.
