Welcome to the forefront of firearm innovation.

For decades, the revolver design remained largely unchanged, but the Chiappa Firearms Rhino 60DS shatters that mold, introducing a truly revolutionary approach to handgun engineering. This isn't just another .357 Magnum revolver; it's a meticulously crafted precision instrument designed to redefine your shooting experience. If you're an avid shooter, a discerning collector, or someone seeking an unparalleled blend of performance and distinctive aesthetics, the Rhino 60DS is engineered precisely for you.

Are you tired of fighting muzzle flip and excessive felt recoil with traditional revolvers? Do you wish for faster, more accurate follow-up shots? The Chiappa Rhino 60DS addresses these common challenges head-on, offering a solution that enhances control, reduces shooter fatigue, and significantly improves target acquisition. It's built for those who demand innovation, precision, and a firearm that stands out from the crowd, both in form and function.

The Revolutionary Core: Bottom Bore Axis Design

The defining feature of the Chiappa Rhino 60DS, and indeed the entire Rhino series, is its radical firing mechanism. Unlike conventional revolvers that fire from the cylinder's top chamber, the Rhino fires from the bottom. This seemingly simple change yields profound benefits in shooting dynamics. By positioning the bore axis dramatically lower, almost perfectly in line with the shooter's hand, the physics of recoil are fundamentally altered. Instead of the typical upward rotation (muzzle flip) experienced with traditional revolvers, the recoil force is directed straight back into the shooter's arm. This translates directly into:

• Significantly Reduced Muzzle Rise: The primary benefit is a drastic reduction in the upward jump of the barrel. This keeps your sights on target, allowing for immediate re-engagement.
• Minimized Felt Recoil: While the energy of the .357 Magnum cartridge remains potent, the way your body perceives and manages that energy is optimized. Recoil feels more like a direct push than a sharp snap, leading to greater comfort and less fatigue, especially during extended shooting sessions.
• Faster, More Accurate Follow-Up Shots: With less muzzle flip to contend with, you can get back on target almost instantaneously. This is a critical advantage for competitive shooting, self-defense scenarios, or simply improving your performance at the range.
• Enhanced Control: The natural ergonomics derived from the low bore axis allow for a more intuitive and stable grip, empowering shooters with superior control over the firearm.

This innovative design is a game-changer for anyone seeking to master powerful revolver cartridges without the usual penalties associated with recoil and muzzle climb. It’s a testament to Chiappa Firearms' commitment to pushing the boundaries of what's possible in handgun technology.

A Masterpiece of Design: Gold Plated PVD and Walnut

Beyond its groundbreaking internal mechanics, the Chiappa Rhino 60DS (UPC: 8053670712201) distinguishes itself with an undeniably luxurious and eye-catching aesthetic. The Gold Plated PVD finish on both the steel barrel and cylinder, complemented by the Gold Plated PVD aluminum frame, creates a striking visual statement. PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) is not just about looks; it's a highly durable and corrosion-resistant coating that offers superior wear resistance compared to traditional finishes. This means your Rhino will maintain its brilliant luster and protected surfaces even with regular handling and use.

The visual appeal is further enhanced by the exquisite Walnut Grip. Walnut is renowned for its rich grain patterns, natural warmth, and classic elegance. But it's not just about beauty; walnut provides a comfortable and secure hold, molding subtly to the shooter's hand over time. The combination of the lustrous gold PVD and the organic beauty of the walnut grip elevates the Rhino 60DS from a mere tool to a true collector's item, an heirloom-quality firearm that performs as spectacularly as it looks.

Robust Construction & Intelligent Engineering

The choice of materials in the Rhino 60DS reflects a careful balance between durability, weight, and performance:

• Aluminum Alloy Frame: The lightweight aluminum alloy frame and barrel shroud contribute significantly to the Rhino's overall manageability and ease of carry. Despite its six-inch barrel, the 60DS weighs in at a balanced 32 ounces, preventing it from feeling overly cumbersome. This lightweight construction is ideal for extended range sessions or for those who appreciate a less fatiguing shooting experience.
• Steel Barrel & Cylinder: While the frame prioritizes weight savings, the critical components – the barrel and cylinder – are crafted from robust steel. This ensures the structural integrity and longevity required to safely contain the pressures of powerful .357 Magnum cartridges. The steel vent rib barrel design not only adds to its distinctive appearance but also helps dissipate heat during rapid firing.
• Hexagonal Cylinder: A subtle yet highly effective innovation is the hexagonal shape of the cylinder. This design reduces the revolver's overall width, making it more streamlined and less prone to snagging during presentation or holstering. It’s a thoughtful detail that speaks to the practical considerations embedded within the Rhino’s design.

Intuitive Functionality and Safety

The Chiappa Rhino 60DS operates with an innovative, completely enclosed firing mechanism. What appears to be a traditional "hammer" on top is actually a cocking device. This design provides several operational advantages:

• Single Action / Double Action (DA/SA) Versatility: The Rhino offers both double-action and single-action firing modes. In double action, a long, smooth pull of the trigger cocks and releases the internal hammer. For precision shots, the external cocking device allows you to manually cock the internal hammer, providing a crisp, light single-action trigger pull. This versatility makes the Rhino suitable for a wide range of shooting disciplines.
• Snag-Resistant Profile: The enclosed firing mechanism contributes to the Rhino’s sleek, snag-resistant profile, making it easier to draw from a holster without interference.
• Clearly Visible Cocked Indicator: A critical safety feature, a bright red indicator clearly pops up when the internal hammer is cocked, providing instant visual confirmation of the firearm's status. This enhances safe handling and awareness for the shooter.

Equipped with a fiber optic front sight and an adjustable green fiber optic rear sight, the Rhino 60DS ensures rapid and precise target acquisition. Fiber optic sights gather ambient light, creating bright, easy-to-see dots that significantly improve sight picture clarity, especially in varied lighting conditions. The adjustable rear sight allows for fine-tuning of elevation and windage, ensuring optimal accuracy for different ammunition types or shooting distances.

Chambered in .357 Magnum: Power and Versatility

The .357 Magnum caliber is one of the most versatile and respected handgun cartridges available. Its ability to deliver significant energy makes it an excellent choice for a variety of applications:

• Self-Defense: Known for its stopping power, the .357 Magnum is a formidable cartridge for personal protection.
• Target Shooting: While powerful, the Rhino's low bore axis design makes shooting .357 Magnum significantly more manageable for extended range sessions. Furthermore, the Rhino 60DS can also comfortably chamber and fire .38 Special cartridges, offering a milder recoil option for practice or casual plinking, effectively giving you two calibers in one firearm.
• Hunting: For small to medium-sized game, the .357 Magnum, particularly from a 6-inch barrel like the 60DS, offers sufficient power and accuracy.

With a 6-round capacity, the Rhino 60DS provides standard revolver capacity, suitable for both defensive and recreational uses. The inclusion of moon clips further streamlines the reloading process, allowing for faster and more efficient ejection of spent casings and simultaneous loading of a full cylinder of cartridges.
