Chiappa Rhino 40DS .357 Mag Revolver - 4" Barrel, DA/SA, Fiber-Optic Sights, Black/ Walnut
Chiappa’s Rhino 40DS stands out for its innovative 6 o’clock barrel alignment that channels recoil straight back into the shooter’s hand, sharply reducing muzzle rise. Built on a lightweight 7075-T6 aluminum alloy frame with a ventilated steel shroud, this 4-inch model combines modern engineering with a distinctive, movie-ready profile. Factory fiber-optic sights, an integral Picatinny rail, and walnut grips round out a revolver that blends performance with unmistakable style.

The Rhino 40DS directs the flash gap and muzzle blast lower than conventional revolvers, giving it notably fast follow-up shot capability. The hexagonal, six-shot steel cylinder keeps the profile slim while maintaining full .357 Mag strength.
Fiber-optic dots—red up front, green in back—provide an immediate sight picture, and the rear unit is fully adjustable for precise zeroing with a variety of loads.
An internal hammer with an external cocking lever delivers true DA/SA operation without the risk of hammer bite. The recessed cocked-indicator pin and internal firing-pin block add passive safety without complicating the manual of arms.
The 4-slot Picatinny rail at the 6 o’clock position supports lights or lasers, and the laser-etched rhinoceros logo on the frame signals genuine Chiappa factory work. Italian proof marks and Chiappa USA import stamping confirm authenticity.
