Chiappa Rhino

If you want a 24oz snubby that handles .357 recoil well, get a SP101 and save money

or you could get both

I was at the range last night and some guys from the Chiappa factory were there shooting the new Rhino in several barrel lengths. I watched them compare .38 wads to .38+P in the snubby, there was no difference in muzzle jump! I finally got to handle one....that did it, now I have to have one! Anyone want to buy a SP101 cheap?

Gunsmith Grant Cunningham just received one in advance of writing an article about it for a magazine. His web site is www.grantcunningham.com. I'd keep an eye out for that, but I imagine this little firearm will get lots of attention in the near term anyway...

I will surely keep an eye out for Grant's article. It will be very interesting to me to see what he thinks. The two I have handle so far are no where near worth the cost they are asking, over 700 bucks. To cock the handle for single action use is horrible, I thought maybe it wasn't meant to be cocked for single action use or that I was doing something wrong but it turns out I wasn't.

That is seriously one of the ugliest guns I have ever seen! I think I just threw-up a little in my mouth.

Yes... Absolutely!

MCgunner, I hope they have more than just that but you can never tell.

Big Bill, I agree and I thought the Ruger LCR was ugly but compared to that thing the LCR is a beauty queen.
