CHIAPPA RHINO 50 DS      

 

The Chiappa Rhino 50DS is a 6-shot, .357 Magnum revolver distinguished by its unconventional "bottom-barrel" design. Unlike traditional revolvers, it fires from the 6 o'clock chamber, which lowers the bore axis to align the recoil directly with the shooter's hand and arm. This engineering choice virtually eliminates muzzle flip and converts felt recoil into a manageable rearward push, allowing for significantly faster and more accurate follow-up shots.
