I love the design, unironically. I think its great that a firearm company is stepping outside of the norm to make different stuff.
The designer, Emilio Ghisoni makes weird revolvers
Italian Kel-Tec
@@Okuni_ like a semi automatic revolver
It's a really pretty kind of ugly
Exactly.
I actually think the design is awesome. Very cyberpunk-esque.
Agreed.
Yeah! looks like something outta "Blade Runner".
Except from the wooden grip.. Looks like imitation wood too.. A rubber grip would be so much more in style with the futuristic look.
akselp Definitely.
it is a rubber grip
"I hate this gun, it's repulsive"
Spends 20 minutes talking about how awesome it is.
Ain't that right, it's appearance has nothing to do with its efficiency. I think the four inch barrel is ugly because it's too short, 6 inch barrel actually looks a lot better
“form follows function”
@Outlaw By Nature It might not be made in America, but they have some of the best support service (in Dayton, OH) that I have ever experienced. I stupidly tried to play amateur gunsmith and take mine fully apart to clean it. In the process of doing so, under tension, a micro part shot off and lodged in my carpet never to been seen again. Rather than trying to eff it up further, I decided to call Chiappa and have them service it. Long story short, I told them exactly what I did, and I was responsible for screwing it up. They fixed it free of charge for me, and I bought it used!
@Outlaw By Nature Either way, I'm impressed! :-)
A well working abomination I guess lol
Fired the Gun myself, I have to say it is amazing. The trigger is smooth and quick, you fire .357 Magnum rounds at the speed of a 9mm pistol and it’s a Revolver, the sights are clean (The 60ds has a Green Rear Sight), and I had no problems with it at all. Truly deserves more credit. It may look ugly, but I care more about performance than prettyness. Truly an amazing gift from the Italians
Hi,
Did you ever have any reliability problems as I would like to carry the DS version for CC.
Thanks
Cool !!
Alan A I finally held one the other day. That's why I was looking for this review. A little pricey, but it might be my next weapon.
@@mariolofaro8330 I just bought one. The minute I held it I was sold.. Funny thing is my wife was sold on it too.. Immediately
I thought it looked like this for funzies, just a gun designer being ostentatious and gaudy and dumb but I didn’t realize the barrel is set low! So the design has a purpose! I appreciate it a lot more now.
"Really well made, accurate, reliable, feels great in the hand". That's all I needed to hear.
All I needed to hear was designed by john browning
Hey Hickok, now I'm 78 y/o and in 2015 I purchased my first gun, a 686 4".357. Thought i died and went to heaven. 2 weeks ago I purchased my 14th. gun and it is the Rhino 40DS like the exact one you have. You have taught me all I know about guns, seriously--thank You. HOWEVER !!!!!!! I love this gun. I was sick for several months and did not shoot at all. This Rhino was the first gun I took to the range since 3 months of illness. WOW !!! The first 3 shots were dead center in the bulls eye, and most of the remaining 27 rounds were very much on target. It felt so good and I said to myself "thanks again Hickok" LOL !! I love this gun and think it is a nasty rascal. A few buddies really want to shoot it. Thanks again> Life is good.
You think this is ugly, but you like the look of Glocks.
Shenanigans.
But glocks look amazing...
@@vlonevlone2319 ......compared to a Chiappa, though?
@@vlonevlone2319 compared to an h&k glocks are garbage
What a hater 🤣🤣🤣
Everybody, grab a broom!
It’s literally the only revolver I like the look of
You can get Help for that you know!
GenesisPlanet it’s slim pickings in the uk mate.
Ammotive You must not be aware of the Mateba Sei Unica then.
@@nicholasalexander1590 am now, thanks, lots like the horny Italian has been busy in the Wild West and the Mateba is the output.
I love my rhino. I need to get it changed up though. Need to find a gunsmith that will change it into a Schofield type revolver.
I'm a designer and find this gun more beautiful, the longer I look at it. It looks futuristic and I love the material/design choices. At first I thought it was hideous, now I think it looks cool. I'll be trying to buy one. The 6" version with the gold plating might make it into my collection. Just cool! 😁
I love Chiappa's willingness to at least experiment with firearm design.
The lower cylinder chamber is so innovative In my opinion
It definitely would help with accuracy as long as you can handle that thing thumping your palm. Imagine one in .45LC or heck even headspace the cylinder to fire a 10mm. Perhaps the lower barrel could be implemented on future military pistol designs to allow accurate fire of rounds a bit hotter than 9mm or .40S&W
#1 reason to start a gun company
I Agree. Check out the review LifeSizePotato did on the Mateba 6 Unica.
Chiapa ripped off this design from the Mateba.
This man said himself that he is an old timer. He may just prefer the traditional style of revolvers, but he also said he will try not to let his biases get in the way. But me, personally, love the look of the Rhino!
I am an "old timer" as well and I like it.
I have the six inch barrel oh, it looks a lot better that way, kind of futuristic
@@calvinhoward2277 fff
He is such a good shooter. Been watching him for years and still impressed how he just picks up any gun and is good with it.
Faaaacts
Sabe que cartucho es mejor de cerca y cual es mejor de lejos las cargas eso marca diferencia y aparte si sabe tirar se ve que practica mucho
I reckon his very long arms add to the sight radius!
It looks pretty cool, it looks like something out of blade runner
i always thought the conventional design looked ugly, with the barrel on top and nothing beneath it. there are a few where the lower part, beneath the barrel, continues all the way to the tip, and that looks a lot better, imo. so the rhino design isn't bad. it is strange looking, but i think i like it.
I've seen guns you people wouldn't believe.
I think Officer K's pistol is based on it. He apparently has unlimited ammo though.
youtert No doubt in highschool you could throw a football a quarter mile too.
Tyler Durden it's a Blade Runner joke.
"Have you ever seen such an ugly gun?" 🤔🤔🤔
Have we forgotten that the Hi-Point exists?
Right
Ooof
We can only hope.
Literally my first thought.
Hi-point looks better than any glock
The Rhino was designed by Emilio Ghisoni, and it was the last thing he worked on before he died. Ghisoni was pursuing low bore axis revolvers in the 1970's and dedicated his life to making a better revolver. His advancements are exceptionally visible in the Mateba Sei Unica, a low bore axis, semi-automatic recoil operated revolver.
Also, the Sei Unica actually does has a reduced recoil because it converts some of the recoil energy into stored mechanical energy because it recocks the hammer after every fired round.
A cool , i always wondered if the rhino and the mateba are somehow related, but never looked it up, now I know.
Supposedly mateba made a comeback 4 or 5 years ago.
Kind of like Webley Fosberry automatic revolver?
@@uttamjeetsingh7451 yeah
Mateba right?
You keep denigrating people from Kentucky! (For folks from Kentucky: denigrate means put down.)
I appreciate the wit in your comment! Keep it up.
Lol!
Lol
He is from kentucky
@@robbyrobinson4500 But he obviously doesn't associate himself as being from Kentucky.
What i got from this video: Hickok LOVES the look of the Chiappa Rhino.
first6digits EXACTLY!
I don't hate the Rhino, I like the futuristic look.... but man that Smith & Wesson is one of the most beautiful handguns I had ever seen.
I'm a pretty strong traditionalist firearms enthusiast, but I think it's the coolest looking revolver on the market.
He wants to hate it but can't.
I think this is one of the best modern revolvers, the barrel position gives it an extremely small to no recoil, so you can empty 6 rounds without missing a bullseye
Looks like a good gun for a space cowboy.
Trigun?
Great comment.
Well, I said trigun because it looks nothing like the gun spike uses.
CapnPicard or a gangster of love

Why the hell is it ugly. It looks cool as hell.
I agree
it's ugly, a few refinements and it wouldn't look too bad but in the same vein who cares how it looks, it'll never be anything more than a novelty. and anyone who carries that for protection is just trying to look cool
If you're carrying it for protection, who's looking at it other than deadies?
+Underbottom Sandydown they are carrying it to say "hey look at my cool gun, I'm such a badass"
+anon amous Harley Quinn had it and looked badass
If you think about traditional revolver design. If you ponder that designs tend to advance linearly. Sam Colt put the barrel at the top of the cylinder because he designed the loading lever under the barrel in his black powder revolvers. That simple fact probably kept people thinking along the same manner as other designs that were considered improvements over the Patterson. Chiapa stepped out of the box on this and there are tremendous benefits
that gun looks amazing! I don't think new technology is necessarily a bad thing.
Me either; I'm waiting for somebody to improve the flintlock mechanism on the Brown Bess. :-)
I am trying super hard to get a flintlock. Going to a gun show this weekend to hopefully pick one up.
+hickok45 there's a gun that's REALLY UGLIER than this
@9:27 That means, it is more or less foolproof. I could imagine that getting the barrel in your face is not exactly fun. ^^ If you can choose the pain, why wouldn't you? ^^
I agree...enough to have bought one!
That's the best looking revolver that has been made in a long time!
It's going to matched my cyber truck
lies, no granola eating croc wearing veganite wound be caught dead with a gun, let alone a revolver
Definitely! And 5 years later were still waiting for it lol
That gun aint ugly. I love the look.
Anthony’s Movement I would own one.
Frank Castle I want own one!
Anthony’s Movement I think he just likes the old school
I think it's absolutely gorgeous!
That gun is my future wife it is so sexy
orry guys, call me a bit 'special' but I love the futuristic looks of it. Yes hickok45 has many more beautiful handguns, but this carries its own unique catagory of looks. And its always refreshing to see something different.
Doberman Knives
Ill be keeping my Smiths thank you. Not just because of its looks but honestly Id prefer that it pick the nose up a bit instead of going straight into my hand. I mean the only way id say that that kinda firearm would be great would be in higher caliber rounds which it isnt made in but also with such a high power round going straight into your hand you will still have your sight picture but will be grimacing from the baseball bat that just smacked your palm.
All smiths come with Hogue rubber grips and trust me bud if youve ever shot a hot .44mag or larger round you will know that it helps but it still hurts like hell.
Boredout454 I own this and a S&W security six in 357 and my chiappa has way WAY less kick to it than my securty six.
Doberman Knives I agree with you, Glocks are considered ugly, yet the industry now uses them as the standard by which other automatics are judged. In time, I think this concept has incredible potential
Boredout454 Wouldn't having the recoil spread through your hand and arm be more comfortable than having a sudden load placed on your wrist?
Im not even joking around. This has been my 15th time watching this video. I cant wait to own one. Such a beautiful design with a delicious caliber. I think im in love.
Or very forgetful....
no name, I feel the same way. I'm wanting a 60DS in .357 mag.
Hi-Points are uglier
Oh yeah especially the older ones.
Hi points are good they deserve love
Hi Points don’t cost $900. They are cheap and ugly, the Rhino is expensive and ugly.
And I'd still take a rhino over a high point.
Hi-Points are the only ugly guns out there
Bud's Gun Shop can ask Hickock45 to 'autograph' the guns and they'll fetch much more at the auctions!
Jon Micallef I'm happy to sign anything, but I would not want to mess up somebody's gun. On these guns from Buds that they auction, I sign and date a nicely done Certificate of Authenticity. I generally write a note that I sign and date and include it with the firearm.
maybe he could submit a scan of his signature for them to CNC or laser etch onto the frame..
hickok45 but what about this particular firearm, would your signature increase the aesthetics of the rhino? haha
Glad you all do not charge for autographs. Guys hopefully i can get out of my old Kentucky home and get a signature from yall at a meet and greet some day,
On a side note.
Keep up the good work john on the hickok45andson channel i try to watch them early in the mornings since it is more like a talk show, get my coffee on haha
hickok45 You mean this Hickok45 Signature Edition Cobra Derringer I bought isn't genuine?
Looks amazing to me, also the idea behind it its pretty cool
Recently rented the 6" version at my local indoor range for a bowling pin shoot. I absolutely loved shooting it. I own Smith revolvers. I enjoy the Chiappa just as much.
Should be the side arm for A 10 pilot's...
Sotallytober
Do they make it in 30mm?
Me:this gun looks pretty
Hickock:this gun is ugly
Me: this gun is ugly
good one 😂💯
Same lmao.
Lol, sheep!
😂😂😂
*Your opinion is now mine*
Yep. You're old. It's gorgeous.
I love it too.
+Eric Finley Gorgeous? I must be old too.
I love the 60DS even more.
I think Colt single actions are a hell of a lot more gorgeous lol
Its gorgeous because it looks modern. I think more manufacturers should follow their lead when it comes to revolvers.
Better looking than a Glock.
😂😂😂
I was going to say the same.
Are you blind?
@@robertwhite5996
are you a CoDy? the glock is the worst looking gun ever...
Nude Jawn Yes it is!!!! LOL
Got the 6" version as a birthday present from my wife this summer... after she watched this video. So thanks for that!
Up till then my favorite handgun was a S&W 686 6", and I still enjoy the heck out of shooting that gun, but the Rhino is now my favorite. Awesome handling, love the sights (mine came with fiberoptic rear sights). And yeah, I agree that the cylinder release feels weird, it still does. But I actually prefer the double action trigger over the S&W one, and I do most of my shooting double action.
THIS IS FUTURE OLD MAN!!! lol
Not for ME. :-)
Might I add the future belongs to those with Common Sense. And Common Sense says stay with Old Iron. That grip is hideous, it may work well just not in my hand.
@@hickok45 >>> "I say poe-TAY-toe, you say poe-TAH-toe...”😝😝😝😝
None of his criticisms were about functionality they were all cosmetic. Ugly women can be great in bed old man. LOL
That piece of garbage is for those who need attention....it will not last long...
Innovation can be too much for a traditionalist. I like the look of it.
You are correct. I saw a flintlock recently with a polymer stock on it and the "innovation" was too much for me.
Sounds like it can be fun without fear of damaging scratching the wood
doesnt make any sense coming from a guy that loves glock to dead, i guess we all are differe t breed
It's kinda like a girl bulldog, stocky and handsome but not pretty in any sense
Dr. Swiffel swaffel BTW someone actually made a flintlock with a polymer stock
Recently acquired a 2" model and went through 100 rounds of 357 Mag at the local range with no issues. The design just works, recoil felt like a 9mm semi
"My impression has changed.... but its still ugly" - hickok45
I like that squared off cylinder. It looks appealing and is different. I need some variety in my gun safe and this gun might pass the interview and get a job and belong in my safe next to my other employees.
I love that! I call my forearms pets. I like employees much better.
Lol employees is a good one 😂 my husband will think that's hilarious. I'll give ya credit too 😂 I joke about ours being our "children" since we have no kids (yet) and sometimes I think we take better care of the guns than ourselves 😂😂 "Did you pack everything up for the kids babe? You didn't forget anyone did ya? We gotta take em all out together or they might feel left out" 😂
I hope all your employees get fired
@@krewaskysalter3872 oh I see what you did here lol
Im looking at getting my first firearm.. and honestly after seeing this I like it. It’s something different. Everyone and their brother has a 19X or a S&W hammerless. This, however is something that isn’t nearly as common. I like.
Rhinos are for those who just want a gun they can shoot well with. As long as it makes me a better shot and works for me I don't care if it looks like it was made with Legos.
The Rhino is the only revolver I ever loved.
But... But... You're WRONG, Tom!
Tom Mabon sorry my "legoese" is not up to snuff. My point remains valid.
I actually like the look of the rhino and I feel i could do more custom embellishment on it
Still a better love story than Twilight..
The only revolver?
Chiappa is an Italian company, and it was designed by Antonio Cudazzo and Emilio Ghisoni. Emilio Ghisoni also designed the Mateba Low Barrel Revolver too.
I think it’s great that a company had the initiative to think outside the box with a new design. It’s not every day that a company overhauls a design.
I had to take this whole review with a grain of salt. I've had my Chiappa for several months and love it. I'm really glad that I bought it and had shot several hundred rounds before seeing your review on it. I love your reviews and normally find them to be right on target but you went a little over the top with all the negatives of how you disliked the look of the Chiappa. The review became more about the look than the function of the gun. I value your experience and wonder if I had seen your review first if it would have biased me on the Chiappa. Anyway, I'm glad I that I discovered what a great shooting gun it was before I saw the video.
drshaw187 One man's beauty is another man's ugly. What anybody thinks about the "looks" of a gun should be pretty irrelevant. Not really part of the review, just my opinion on appearance.
***** I could not care less about how it looks. Performance is number one when I am deciding what to carry in different situations. To each his own. Not really sure how a 1911 semi-auto or MK19 grenade launcher fit in to the topic of revolvers but I will say that the Chiappa is way easier to conceal than either of them. I carried a 1911 in the Army and it is a great pistol and I also spent a great deal of time behind the MK19 but neither one of them has the reliability of a good revolver. I've seen way too many failure to fire and failure to feed on both the 1911 and the MK19. Those rarely occur with a revolver and when they do it is usually as easy to fix as pulling the trigger again.
***** To be honest having shot both the Chiappa and good quality 1911 I can say that reliability wise I would go with the Chiappa, everything else from trigger to ergonomics go to 1911 but it still failed to shot 50 rounds out of 200 I've put through it and before you start the gun was already broken in. And as a last thing the m9 or 92fs are some of the most reliable guns ever made they will eat everything you put through them and unless you use cheap magazines like the Americans did it will run perfectly in any condition (within reason).
Alessandro D'Anna
A good quality 1911 with a 25% failure rate? Lol. That pistol is junk. I have a rock island with 1800 rounds through it and 0 malfuntions, and in the world of 1911s mine is barely entry level.
BigBeansM3 It was a colt governement model I think that It was quality enough.
I don't know how John can keep quiet when, I assume, he can clearly see where the misses are through the camera. Props on the self control man.
Grag Reiser Yeah, but sometimes it's not that easy to see that clearly anyway when looking at the little viewer screen. It's when they go up on a full computer screen that it becomes obvious. Makes me look even dumber than I am. :-) It was very clear on the computer screen where my misses were going when shooting at the red plate. Weird that I could not see that while shooting. Just different when you are behind the trigger and looking through the muzzle blast and whatever recoil there is.
hickok45 Good point on both aspecst. Bullet impacts, in my experience, are especially difficult to see when shooting rifle since recoil tends to move your whole body, not just your arms. Anyway, great video as usual, keep it up and greetings from central CA.
I like both revolvers. I appreciate that chiappa rhino went with the newer design
Is he being sarcastic? This is one of the best looking hand guns I have ever seen,
+Pre114 He's old school.
+Pre114 Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Not to start an argument here. The gun the way it looks does look like straight out of a Sci fi, action or future movie.
+Loyalguardian6000
The designer came out with the mateaba autorevolver which also had a underbarrel and was a semi automatic revolver that was used in sci fi films.
toomanyaccounts Wow, cool.
+Loyalguardian6000 It was used in the dystopian futuristic movie, Divergent.
I get that ... Blade Runner 👍
+Loyalguardian6000 Destiny's handcannons are based off this and it's predecessor, the Mateba Model 6 Unica Autorevolver
I love your content! Not only super informative on the guns you showcase, but I am a game artist and I use your precious videos for reference on the parts of guns I want to 3D model so thank you!
What are you talking about he actually gave the gun a good review for the most part he just didn't like the look of the gun.
+Antoine Johnson Bingo! At least somebody was listening. Thanks. :-)
+hickok45 The look has grown on me, there looked like no recoil when you were shooting it. That made me really like it. Ive been struggling big time with picking my next CCW. Ive watched about 40 of your videos over and over trying to choose. .44 is expensive compared to .357 but the regular revolver prices are great compared to some of the semi auto .45's and .40's. Wish it was easier to pick.
+hickok45 haha "I thought they were kidding!"
+Antoine Johnson I quite like the look..... and the feel
ilove the look 😍
I really like the old school look in classic revolvers, but the futuristic, weird look in chiappa revolvers is appealing to me somehow! I find them pretty awesome!
Who would have thought the revolver would be redesigned, but it makes sense, natural point of aim is truly natural!
Yeah, I'm hoping they will also redesign the flintlock rifle and the Bowie knife. Both are way overdue! :-)
I have a handgun that is uglier than that one. It's a Chiappa Rhino 60DS. The only thing uglier than a Chiappa Rhino is a bigger Rhino.
Trace Kimber damn, that thing is ugly
Trace Kimber I'd say it goes the other way, The 2" one is the ugliest thing I've ever seen. But I like the looks of the bigger ones.
Have you seen the Metaba MTR-8 or the Dardick 1500?
Trace Kimber They are all pretty dang ugly, but I would probably put the 60DS before the other two.
Trace Kimber I'll take it off of ya since it's so ugly
Forget the gun, check out this dude's accuracy!
Back in the day, right or wrong, guys with his level of accuracy were THE LAW.
Absolutely amazing design!! and very ingenious the way they made the bore axis so low
Am I the only one who doesn't think its ugly?
I think it looks cool.
***** Come on don't be like that. The Rhino shape is its own style. I understand people not liking it, but it's not like only kids like it. Just because it doesn't look like the old ones doesn't mean it's ugly.
I think it's a work of art.
I thought it was hideous...but the more I look at it the looks grow on me, and now I want one.
I like the gum it looks beautiful
funny I almost prefer the look of the rhino to the s&w probably because im a scifi nerd though
This always reminds me of the Blade Runner gun.
That's exactly what I thought. NYYYERRRRRRDDSS!
I think the design is brilliant! quite flat on the side, more comfortable to carry but the best part id that the barrel is located lower and in line with the hand so it doesn't pull up that much, brilliant work.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. This is one of the most amazing handguns I've ever seen in my life...
I love the trigger, both in SA and DA on my Rhino 200DS. I'd prefer one of the larger models but they're hard to come by and I didn't want to buy one sight unseen. Found a used snubby in .357 magnum and I fell in love with it. Recoil management is great but after shoot a box of .357 142gr you really feel it afterwards. Was my first time shooting a .357 revolver and it was a blast.
Truth: I love the way the Chiappa Rhino looks♥️. It really does resemble a rhino 🦏 and it's beautiful.
Yes I agree with you a lot
I think it's a gorgeous gun.
The Dardick model 1500 is the ugliest gun ever made.
dacasman Ewwwwwwwwwwww! Now THAT is a FUGLY revolver!
dacasman You said DARDICK!!! And you are right on!
dacasman That thing gives calico a run for it's money.
dacasman Liberator...
Alex K. It is definitely up there in terms of sheer design awfulness.
I think it looks awesome. One of the best looking guns I've ever seen.
DUDE i think this thing looks amazing
Legit Christian me to
It looks like the Blade Runner gun. So futuristic.
I love the way it looks so much, I dislike any other revolver design now. For real.
Same
i don’t know why they put a hammer on it. it doesn’t do anything. i guess just so it looks like a revolver still.
@@cameron9322 for single action cocking
@@cameron9322 Great point
Looks like the Chiappa designers have been playing Borderlands too much!
Borderlands RULES! :-)
Great to find fans of BL on the H45 channel. :-)
JunkfoodZombie A bazillion guns, fits right in with channel theme.
Borderlands popped into my head instantly the first time I saw the rhino +1
ukrifleman Lol, I was wondering why I liked it.
I think it looks amazing! Love the classics but Chiappa made something truly unique and futuristic. Reminds me of the Dekkard gun in Blade Runner.
that's exactly what came to my mind.
I absolutely love my Chiappa rhino 60DS.. smooth action..very accurate..sleek and the recoil is second to none for a .357 Mag. Id buy another..wish they made a .44 mag version! But .357 works just fine!
Damn, I wish they made one chambered in .44 mag.
No you don't. Unless you're tougher than Hickok45.
@Maddock fitzsimmins the 357 magnum has more recoil than a 44 trust me.
Jennifer Wilson no tf it doesn’t😂
@@rrzro3622 it may be due to bore axis but I own several of both and all of my 357s kick harder than my 44s.
Jennifer Wilson definitely hasn’t been the case for me but it’s not a big deal
When i see almost non exisent muzzle flip i just start drooling like a dog. I love this gun!
Yes, they have to work on design in area above the barrel, but i wouldnt say its ugly.
+tiortedrootsky See FAQ videos. :-)
I think if they got rid of the rail and made the front sight a bit smaller it would look great
tiortedrootsky
Looked like soft .38 not .357, zero muzzle movement. Amazing.
Great video,Mr.Hickok.
The 357 magnum has one of the worst noises when being fired I have ever heard.
Even with really good hearing protection on.
I read that is was because of the velocity and the size of the particular round being fired.
I actually sold the best revolver I ever owned in part because of that.
Had the gun been a 41 or 44 magnum I might have kept it.
I really like this space gun looking revolver but I would much rather buy a heavy barrel blued Smith or Colt or even possibly a Taurus revolver any day.
I love your reviews! I've just learned of the Rhino and prefer the longer version based off its appearance. While they are pricey, this one will surely make it into my collection.
Actually I agree with you; it is a revolutionary revolver with many benefits over conventional ones. If something is functional then it looks good automatically to me just like Glocks.
I actually love this revolver from design to concept. It seems like it would help with recoil, accuracy and follow up shots. That’s the reason for it’s...unorthodox design. I like it 😬 and want one now!! Don’t hate Hickok :/
"yeahhh really, Don't I? Aren't they gorgeous?" I laughed out loud at that one. You are awesome Hickok
Love the futuristic design of it. Beautiful gun.
A Glock enthusiast complaining of an ugly gun? Now I've seen it all!
He mentions that he values function over looks because he's a glock fan in the video
I'm surprised how many people think Chippa Rhino's are "ugly". I think they're bad ass. I have a Colt S.A.A. and I love it for multiple reasons, but all the same this is going to take the place of my Shield Plus as my CCW firearm honestly. Maybe with one loaded speed loader as well.
people who don't like change are the people that are left behind! Remember when the M16 came out? EVERYONE hated it!! "oh its plastic" and "this little pea shooter wont kill anyone!" Now look...the m16/M4/AR15 are the most popular rifle in America!! Remember Glock??? "oh its a plastic gun!" and " the polymer will break!!" YET AGAIN the MOST popular handgun in America! The Rhino is no different. I feel like this is the new age type of revolver. (even though the revolver is "Old technology")
It's on my list now. Love the old embrace the new.
did he rant on and on about how bad it is? he just said that it's ugly, which it is.
I see your point but I don't think it's gonna be a revolutionary design. I don't think the designs gonna catch on to the bigger companies
You can't argue that the gun isn't about as fully as it gets, it just takes away all the sexyness of a revolver. It's cool and all but I'd never buy one
+Ronni Barber gotcha, it is ugly as sin but I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't want to try it out. they make some cool stuff.
I can't believe people think they are ugly... I think they are absolutely unique and cool!
This is the most beautiful revolver I've ever seen.
That is a beautiful gun. Reminds me of the mateba 6 unica with its almost futuristic-ish look
Designed by the same person, I believe.
oldedude51 I forgot to mention i knew it was connected to the creator of the mateba. But i appreciate yall for informing me anyhow. I got me a Rhino 6ds and it is just awesome.
It’s cool to see a revolver look different and futuristic. Im not a revolver fan but this I could fall in love with.
I'm glad you did a review on this gun, been looking for a good resource to look at
What I've found in my few years on this planet is that beauty comes in 2 forms. The instant and undeniable and the aquired.
Many firearms I thought ugly once, but years of watching have made me love the way they look... Oddly the old revolvers are of the opposite type for me.
In my youth the semi-auto shape of today was king, all cops still carried 38sp. but that was about it.
The Rhino is growing on me...
This is one of the best conceal carry revolvers i’ve seen
I've been looking at the his gun for a while now. Glad this video was made. Proves it's quality made and innovative for sure. I think different is a good thing.
It kinda looks like a revolver from Borderlands
Reminds me of The Patton
Reminded me of the hand cannons in destiny.
Someone on another video said: A Dahl/Jakobs effort from the first game. I agree.
never seen hickok call a weapon stupid.. lol.
That should be quite telling then, shouldn't it?
Nah he's just a traditionalist when it comes to revolvers.
+Carlos Finch Hickok is famous because of his unbiased viewpoints. The thing is ugly as sin...
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Watch his video on the Hi-Point 9mm. It's hilarious.
In a Terminator voice "Dah Chiappa Rhino in a .357 Magnum".
wow, that really does take out the muzzle flip. you can see it still kicks a little, but it looks like it remains close to target. Thanks for making the point that it does still transfer the energy into your hand.. and that it actually puts more pressure into your hand than the recoil of a "normal" revolver. that was a question of mine also.
the energy has to go somewhere so if there's nothing to counter the actual recoil, it is just redirected to another location.. in this case, your wrist/forearm. :)
In my opinion, this revolver is both ugly and not.. ugly compared to the way revolvers usually look, but cool as it's like some futuristic revolver. I think I'd enjoy owning one, but have a couple revolvers in mind that would be first on my list. :)
As a Rhino owner it is not pretty at all but it has a aggressive look and it shoots. 357 Magnum rounds like a light load 38 if that. Love this ugly thing.
Damn its that smooth?
@@moejartin3258 it looks it in this video
Italian engineers are always the best
It’s not ugly. It’s futuristic and it works! It’s practical.
I just started researching these guns. I agree that the look is different and it took me a while to get into it. I love the look a S&W revolver but the design of the Rhino is impressive and from what I can tell it assists the shooter in the area of holding down recoil.
