The Gold PVD finish is factory-applied over an aluminum alloy (Ergal) frame, matched with a Gold PVD steel cylinder. The 6-inch barrel contributes to the model’s 10.5-inch overall length while keeping weight to a listed 2.06 lb, delivering a balanced full-size revolver profile.
Chiappa’s signature bottom-chamber bore-axis system directs recoil closer to the shooter’s hand. The revolver operates in double-action/single-action with an internal hammer and an external cocking lever, and includes a cocked indicator as a safety feature.
Sighting is fast and precise with a red fiber-optic front blade and a fully adjustable rear sight featuring green fiber-optic inserts. An accessory rail and scope-mount provision are present for mounting options as desired.
The cylinder is a hexagonal-profile 6-shot design with an ejector rod that is partially shrouded. Walnut grips feature textured panels and a Chiappa Rhino medallion inlay. Italian proof and inspection marks are present alongside the Chiappa Firearms, Dayton, OH import mark. This specific Gold PVD variant is designated by MFG Part Number 340.225.
