Chiappa Rhino 50DS .357 Mag 5-inch Chrome DA/SA Revolver with Fiber-Optic Sights and Picatinny Rail
The Chiappa Rhino 50DS stands out with its bottom-aligned barrel design, chrome finish, and DA/SA operation denoted by the DS suffix. This 5-inch .357 Magnum revolver pairs a 7075-T6 aluminum frame with steel barrel and cylinder, offering distinctive handling, clear fiber-optic sights, and an integral accessory rail. It is Italian-made with CIP proof marks and importer markings present.
Barrel alignment to the bottom cylinder chamber lowers the bore axis to help reduce muzzle rise. The revolver uses a DA/SA system with an external false-hammer cocking lever and a red cocked-status indicator for visual confirmation. A left-side, frame-mounted cylinder release complements the Rhino’s unique manual of arms.
Construction features include a ventilated, slab-sided 5-inch barrel shroud with elongated lightening slots and a flat-sided (hexagonal) six-shot cylinder profile. The chrome finish extends over the receiver and cylinder. The frame is 7075-T6 aluminum, while the barrel and cylinder are steel.
