Handgun Expert James Tarr Reviews the Rhino
..."The Rhino is the first carry revolver that I've shot that I would load with .357s and not worry at all about recoil. An underbarrel revolver is an idea long overdue, and designs like the Rhino are the future of revolvers."...

Enjoy...
All reasonable opinions...
But even leeches and maggots have found their way back to niche uses in "modern" cutting-edge medicine...
Shoot the Rhino, and the "beauty of the beast" will become apparent... (and unmatchable by any current semi-auto pistol)...
But it "feels" SOOOOOOO Right...!!! :D :D
...It's almost like the bullets "just go" exactly were you look...
Just put another 300 rounds through mine... :)
Targets are becoming useless...
...all I end up with are jagged holes the size of a quarter... ;)
I own two... Carry one (at a time)... Here's my review...

(doesn't seem like "very few" to me...)
9mm has to go to at least +P, with very light bullets, to get over 1400fps...
... REPLY: To several posters...
The BBR design "might" be more dangerous in a catastrophic failure... I don't know... But I am certain that the width of the frame bottom directly under the cylinder is over twice as wide on the Rhino as it is on the J-Frame or LCR... (it's almost twice that of...
...FOR THE AMMO GURUS OUT THERE...
I am very much into ballistics, and all of the physics therein...
But I have a question that seems to have no easy answer...
The 9mm x 19 Luger Cartridge has a max standard SAAMI pressure of 35,000 and is popular with a 124 grain bullet...

Yup... I wrote the review... (Original Post)
For the record... I am a 60 year old, retired computer programmer... and I have nothing to do with the firearms industry... I have no ties or financial interest...
I think the Rhino Model 200-D has an MSRP of $739...
But it can be had for $650 - $700...

It's is almost scary when people form firm opinions without factual basis...
YOU HAVE NOT YET FIRED THE GUN...!!! (It was Mikey in the Commercial that said "Try it... you'll like it...")

Call Chiappa and order part number 770-515... it is the red Hi-Viz front sight blade for the Rhino... It comes with two new little roll pins and take 30 seconds to install... If I remeber right it was $14.95...
Please come back with comments after you get to the range...

Regarding the Price of the Rhino... The Model 200D has an MSRP of $739 and can easily be had for about $650...
S&W 357 Snubbies are not cheap either... MSRP from $729 to $1269...
Regarding "pretty" killing equipment:
I suppose we could ask our Marines to carry Remington 700 ADL rifles...
Ahhhhh... you have the physics correct... NOW THINK M16...!!! Eugene Stoner designed the M16 with a line of sight 2 inches above the barrel, this was to lower the line of recoil to directly into the shoulder and thus limiting the off-target muzzle rise... This is one of the main reasons that...
