Chiappa rhino

Oh hell.

I love recovers. That said, the Rhino is pure marketing trash. There's zero advantage to any feature it claims, and the barrel is too short to make use of the power of .357.

What would be a good revolver to buy for a first time in that case?

If you're The Yankee Marshall, or a clone of him, sure.

If you are a revolver fan, sure.

If you are looking for a meme gun, sure.

aluminum frame, retarded complicated mechanism, limited after-market support.

Just no.

Buy a GP100 4" instead.

What's your favorite handgun?

Ruger GP100 is what you seek. Your grandkids will still be shooting full power magnums out of it.

>>34136133
Thank you for the suggestion my friend

>>34136136
Me? It rotates between my 686+, PPK/S, and CZ 75BD.

Roast away.

My buddy has the 4 inch Rhino. It shoots pretty well, the trigger is alright, the hammer functions really weird.

The only thing I think it had going for it was the really low recoil because of how low the barrel is, and how high your hand is.

Decent meme pistol, but doesn't really have any huge advantages over other revolvers. Still pretty cool range toy.

>has 6 barrels
wut?

Gp100 or an sp101 if you wanna carry it.

Another vote for the GP100. If you can spare the extra shekels, get the match champion. The grips & action are pure sex.

>>34136106
Chiappa does make 4", 5", 6"
Recoil is inline instead of over your hand
Still same amount of recoil

This

The design is decent, but the company manufacturing it leaves something to be desired. Chiappa is a small outfit, and neither their build quality nor their customer service is anywhere as good as S&W or Ruger. Additionally, the Rhino has nowhere near the aftermarket support of any mainstream model by S&W or Ruger.

>okay what should I get instead then

You have a couple of options.

Lightweight alternative chambered in .38 +P: S&W 637/638/642 or Ruger LCR

Snub .357 magnum: S&W Model 66 or Ruger SP101

Service sized revolver: S&W 686 or Ruger GP100

All of the above guns are much better than a Rhino and will actually cost you less than a Rhino.

If you're looking for a snubnosed revolver, get a Ruger LCR. That comes in .357 Magnum, if you're REALLY into that.

A good FIRST revolver is the Ruger GP100.

It was the first rollygat I ever bought, I fucking love it.

I've got a 4 inch I use for edc. Awesome gun. No recoil whatsoever with .38 special +p, and low muzzle climb with .357. The people here who say it's garbage are full of shit if they talk about design. It is revolutionary to me in a revolver world where no one bothers to be innovative. I'm sending it in now as I sometimes have a cylinder lockup after going into single action and being unable to fire. Great gun. Just pretty expensive. I got mine for $900 and the price goes up every year.

>No recoil whatsoever
Recoil is the same.
The recoil is straight into the arm if holding it properly.
No muzzle flip whatsoever is what I think you meant.

I don't feel a damn thing with .38. No muzzle rise, and my hand doesn't feel anything either.

Hickups happen, but the design is innovative. Early models had terrible quality control. Mine has a issue that happens once every 200 dry fires. it's also no more convulated internally than a normal revolver either, a common complaint. Love the gun and the design isn't a copy of everyone else's favorite fudd gun that's been repeatedly released for 200 years.

Gonna echo the /k/mind and say to get a GP100.

Match Champion is a great variant, but if you're new to guns in general, I can't possible think of a better first time/learning gun than a good 6" GP100.
