Chiappa Rhino Review - After James R posted his review of the Chiappa Rhino 200DS I felt the need to share my thoughts on the larger version. The white rhinoceros. The White Rhino is Chiappa's 60DS. It's the same gun just with a 6 inch long barrel. The White Rhino is the stainless hard chrome version of the Rhino 60DS. They make the 60DS in black like the one reviewed by James.
I pitted the Rhino 60DS against an old Taurus Model 66. Both are stainless revolvers with wood grips. Each holds six rounds of .357 MAG.

Just like what James noted in his video, the Rhino shoots from the lower cylinder. What he didn't mention was that the Chiappa Rhino was designed by none other than Emilio Ghisoni, Mateba's father. The Unica 6 is the most iconic of the Mateba Revolvers.

Ghisoni's final design, although much of the design work was done by architect Antonio Cudazzo. Made by Kimar in Italy, then imported through Chiappa in Italy and Chiappa's US branch. DS stands for "Definitive Series
As a competition shooter, I am not interested in short-barreled revolvers. I was interested in the long barrel on the 60DS as well as the integrated rails on the 60DS. While the five-inch 50DS has a lower accessory rail for a light or laser, the 60DS has a top rail for optics.
Testing the Trijicon MRO. Although it looks silly, it works very well. A bit like KC Eusebio and his Trijicon SRS mounted on his Glock.
As you could see in the picture above, I also tried the red microdot Meopta Meored with QD rail mount. After shooting handguns in the USPSA with red dots in an open division, I prefer shooting red dots. So shooting the Chiappa Rhino with a red dot was very easy. Direct linear recoil helps minimize nose hop and the red dot doesn't move far from the target.

I shot the Rhino and the Taurus with the same ammo. American Eagle Lead Round Nose .38 SPL and Remington UMC .38 SPL. As expected, the Ox's chin is turned more than the Rhino's. Makes the rhino easier to shoot and aim for follow-up shots.
Rhino 60DS has been cut to moon clip. Something Taurus is not. For those unfamiliar with revolver moon clips, the rear of the barrel is machined to allow for a thin sheet of metal. The thin metal sheet is called a moon clip. The cartridge snaps onto the moon clip and functions almost like a magazine. Simply open the cylinder and drop in the moon clip. Compared to traditional speed loaders where the shooter has to insert the shots and turn the loader to release the bullets into the cylinder. Using moon clips also means that the spent brass stays cut and goes down in one piece. This makes reloading much faster and easier. The Rhino 60DS came with three moonclips.
I definitely prefer the Rhino 60DS over the Taurus Model 66. But there are a few issues I have with the Rhino. First, the wooden grip does not feel comfortable. The front strap has 90 degree corners that don't feel right when holding and shooting the Rhino. The accessory rail must be full length or offset. While it's nice to have the bottom rail located close to the muzzle so the flashlights mounted there don't cast a barrel shadow, it makes it harder to activate the weapon light because it's out of reach of my thumbs without breaking the grip. Another issue is the top rail. I like that it has one, but I'd rather the train be modular. Cut out the rail and have different thick spacers to mount the rail lower or higher. This way you can counter small red dots like Meopta Meored and fellow witnesses to the path. Right now, optics sit higher than iron sights. The Rhino 60DS comes with fiber optic front and rear sights and they are better than the red plastic ramp on the Taurus. As my fried Greg noted, a competitive revolver shooter, Chiappa needs to do the 8 rhino. If they did, he would trade one of his competition revolvers. The 8 Rhino would be great in the competitive revolver world. Another note is that the Chiappa Rhino comes in 9mm. Now on their website they list a Rhino 20D and 400DS combo. They come with two cylinders, one in .357mag and one in 9mm. I wanted a spare cylinder to shoot the 60DS in 9×19 with moon clips. I think the recoil would be even smoother and make a very fun and fast revolver. We may earn a commission when you shop through the links on our site. Find out more here.
When it comes to power and accuracy, revolvers are my weapon. Despite what the haters say, there is more to these wheelguns than meets the eye. Besides their popularity in movies, revolvers make reliable weapons for self-defense. Also, they do very well on the ranch. Today we take a look at one of my personal favorites, the Chiappa Rhino 60DS.

Thanks to the military service of 7 years, I started collecting revolvers of all kinds. From the Smith & Wesson 19 to the Ruger Blackhawk, I have shot and owned every single one. But this time we're going to talk about one of Chiappa Firearms' revolvers. Some of you may be groaning when you think of the high prices of her pistols, which is understandable. Despite the high cost, many say the performance quality of their revolvers is one of the best. So far I have one of their infamous Rhino 50DS revolvers, which I bought two years ago. From personal experience, I can tell you that the Rhino 50DS has strong firepower.
In today's article, we will focus on the Chiappa Rhino 60DS review. When I browsed Chiappa's site, many users who own this gun left positive comments about it. As such, we will check in and see if this revolver lives up to everyone's expectations. But first let's look at its pros and cons. Then we will talk about the brand and the revolver itself later in the review.
The Chiappa Rhino 60Ds is a revolver that uses the 357 Magnum as its main caliber. Known for its eccentric design, it fits perfectly into Chiappa Firearms' Rhino revolvers. The upper end of its barrel resembles that of a rhinoceros horn – hence the name. As I own the Rhino 50DS and love it, there is still a lot to say about its sibling gun. Can the Rhino 60DS measure up to its predecessors?

Chiappa Rhino 357 Magnum Revolver Sootch00 Review
Chiappa Firearms is an Italian firearms company based in Brescia, Italy. It entered the gun scene not too long ago in 1958 with Armi Sport as its original brand. Despite the influence of its revolvers, its other items attract mixed reviews among gun enthusiasts. Some say the company's weaponry is good, others will say it's bad. Again, you must remember that revolvers are a pride and specialty of Chiappa Firearmsâ. Despite some negative reviews, they are buried by positive ones.
In short, Chiappa Firearms is both a good and a bad brand. Despite its rocky reputation, many users still buy its commercialized weapons. It does not offer firearms at cheap prices, but it means well with the performance characteristics of its firearms. In addition, its Winchester rifles and other rifles have also caught the interest of many gun fans. Although he has an expensive catalog, many still choose to trust his revolvers.
With its overall design, it's obvious who this gun is for. Considering its overall design, I'd say it's ideal for both competition and self-defense shooting. Therefore, shooters can benefit the most from using this gun. With its sleek appearance, the strong yet low recoil shots it shoots sit well on the course. But all of these also make this gun incompatible with hunters and users with small hands. For hunters, they are better with shotguns for shooting targets at long distances. Meanwhile, users with small hands may struggle trying to press the wide trigger to fire.
The Rhino 60DS is a 6-inch barrel revolver with a smooth medium walnut grip. It can accommodate both 357 Magnum and 38 Special rounds. Additionally, you can shoot it in either single or double action modes. As for the rest of its parts, we'll cover them all later as we get further down in this review. For now, here are the official specifications of the Rhino 60DSâ provided by the manufacturer itself:

Even with the high cost, Chiappa Firearms means well when it comes to its packaging. When I received my order, my Rhino 60DS arrived in a sturdy black hard case with an easy-grip handle. The Chiappa Firearms brand logo covers one side of the case. The black color and the company logo give the case a simple look.
When I opened the case, thick black foam surrounded the entire interior. This protects the gun and other enclosures from possible damage such as dents. At first glance you see
