    Chiappa Rhino

    Just picked it up a few days ago! I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, but I love how it feels in the hand - I'm normally not a fan of wooden grips on revolvers, but so far I like it.

      Kind of odd they have all hex screws and then a flat head screw out of nowhere.

        Looks great and from the reviews, you'll enjoy it at the range. Where did you acquire this piece?

              That looks really cool. Like it came from a comic book. Please update with a range report. What's the trigger like?

                The trigger is OK. In single action, the pull is very light (don't have my gauge on me at the moment), but slightly mushy... it doesn't feel like a typical single action revolver trigger. Double action is very smooth, but just a tad heavy for my taste. I certainly wouldn't say the trigger is bad, but it's not amazing either. We'll see how it feels after I put a number of rounds downrange

                    It indicates if the hammer is cocked. The hammer is internal; the "hammer" you can see from the outside is actually a cocking lever, and even if you cock the hammer, it returns to the forward position.

                          Truly excellent photography.

                          But I am still having a hard time seeing the beauty of the firearm itself.

                          I guess the classic design is too deeply embedded in my mind as the norm.
