The Chiappa Firearms CBR-9 Black Rhino pistol is not just like something you have already seen around. Originally designed as a PDW (Personal Defense Weapon), the CBR-9 Black Rhino is an original project, with original solutions behind and several patents pending contributing to make it new and different.


This semiautomatic pistol adopts an improved and efficient blowback system, with a bolt that is half the weight of competitors’ products. Thanks to its original design, all mechanical components are placed in the upper receiver, while the lower receiver is just the grip, the polymer frame of the pistol. Within the bolt mechanism, the hammer mass cooperates to the closure in a substantial manner, thanks to its high mass and inertial increment obtained by the particular way the hammer and the bolt interlock one another. Important to note the fact that the CBR-9 can be field stripped easily, without tools.
