Chiappa Rhino 60 DS .357 Mag Gold PVD 6-Inch DA/SA Revolver
Chiappa’s Rhino 60 DS stands out for its patented bottom-chamber firing system, which lowers the bore axis to tame recoil and muzzle flip. This full-size, six-inch model pairs that unique mechanical design with a striking Gold PVD finish, fiber-optic sights, and dual accessory rails—features rarely found together on any revolver. Built in Italy with a 7075-T6 aluminum frame and steel barrel, it blends modern engineering with practical shootability in a distinctive package.

The Rhino’s bottom-chamber design directs recoil straight back into the shooter’s hand rather than up, noticeably reducing muzzle rise in .357 Magnum. An internal hammer system means the external spur serves only as a cocking lever, preserving a snag-free profile while retaining true DA/SA function.
Gold PVD coating on the frame and cylinder provides high surface hardness and corrosion resistance, ensuring the finish is as durable as it is eye-catching. The hexagonal cylinder keeps the revolver slimmer than traditional six-shots, improving holster compatibility without sacrificing capacity.
Chiappa equips this 60 DS with red/green fiber-optic sights that pop in varied lighting, plus picatinny rails at both 12- and 6-o’clock positions. Whether you mount a reflex sight up top or a light underneath, the Rhino accommodates modern accessories that most revolvers simply can’t.
Medium stippled walnut grips give a secure, natural feel in hand. With its 1:19" RH twist steel barrel, the revolver maintains accuracy with a wide range of .357 Magnum and .38 Special loads, making it a versatile option for target work, hunting, or defensive roles.
