There is an interesting article in the Feb. 2011 issue of Shooting Illustrated (published by the NRA) on this gun. Following are a few excerpts: Its double-action pull weight is a hefty 10 lbs, but the trigger's travel is about half of what you would expect. Future models of the Rhino...

I have both the Hi-Power Mark III and a modified CZ75 SA. I like both, but my favorite is the special CZ. I should probably mention that I have smaller hands, so don't like triggers with a long reach. My CZ was ordered from Ghost Products ( http://czcustom.com/ ) It included a trigger job...

The best improvement you could make to the gun is to remove the magazine "safety", which will eliminate that gritty feel when you pull the trigger. I believe there are instructions on the web on how to do this yourself.

My own preference is the CZ75-SA, which operates the same as a 1911. It's great for people with smaller hands like me. I ordered mine from the Ghost Products folks over on the CZ Forum, and included options like an aluminum trigger, a trigger job, 3-dot sights, and special wood grips...

I'd recommend you look at the S&W model 19 (which has already been mentioned) or the model 66 (its stainless steel equivalent). Both are K frame guns, which should fit your large hands.

I think most people will eventually want to own both revolvers and semi-autos, because each have their advantages. But since I'm an old guy, I would only consider handguns made with good old steel and wood - no plastic. For competition such as IDPA I like a semi-auto, and for target work I...

I'd have to answer your question with a question: what would you want to use it for? I believe most commonly sold cartridges are designed for hunting or for self defense. If you just want to punch holes in paper, you really don't need the magnum loads anyway.

According to the "Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson", your gun's serial number is from the 1970-1973 time frame.

Depends on which pocket and how close it is to your skin. Fails to consider the blast from the barrel/cylinder gap.

Sigh! I'm still looking.

It is obvious to me that at some time in the future you will want both guns. As others have pointed out, they fill completely different roles. So the question is which one you lust after the most right NOW! I own a 6" GP100 (blued), but my reasons for buying it are unrelated to YOUR desires.

I avoid any gun with a magazine disconnect (unless it's easily removable) based on my experience in IDPA competition. The usual mandatory drill when finishing a stage in IDPA is (1) remove magazine, (2) cycle the slide to show the RO that there is no round in the chamber, and (3) aim in a safe...

Instead of using a prop, my solution is to arrange the gun on a sloping surface with the sights at a lower level than the trigger guard. The camera is aimed at an angle downward such that it is seeing a perfect side view of the gun, although at this point the picture is upside down. To use the...

Well, here's my guess (and it is a guess, based on experience with similar looking pistols). I think you have to pull the slide back to a "certain" position, then push part 2511 part way out by pressing on the right end of it, and then pull part 2511 all the way out from the left side. It...

Let me be the first to say "Welcome to the forum!"

This is a situation where your best bet may be a local gun show. At a show of any decent size there will be a couple of vendors that may have just what you need at a reasonable price. You'll probably have to pay sales tax, but no shipping charge.

I like my coco bolo, but that zebrawood is indeed impressive.
