This six-shot revolver uses Chiappa's bottom-chamber (6 o'clock) bore alignment, directing recoil straight back to reduce muzzle rise. The 6-inch barrel sits within a ventilated shroud with lightening slots, balancing the sight radius with controllability and a distinctive profile.
The frame is CNC-machined from 7075-T6 aluminum alloy for strength-to-weight efficiency, paired with a steel barrel and steel cylinder, all nickel plated. The cylinder has a hexagonal profile, and the revolver carries markings including RHINO 60 DS, .357 MAG, and Made in Italy by Chiappa Firearms.
It runs in double-action/single-action with an internal hammer and external cocking lever. Safety features include an internal safety mechanism and a cocked indicator. Sighting is quick and precise via a red fiber-optic front blade and a fully adjustable rear sight with green fiber-optic inserts.
Ergonomics and mounting options are well covered: medium walnut grips are checkered/stippled with a Chiappa medallion, and there is an integral top rail segment along with an under-barrel accessory rail. European CIP proof marks are present, alongside the Chiappa Firearms, Dayton, OH importer mark. Overall length is approximately 10.5 inches with a weight of about 2.06 lb. MFG part number is 340.224.
