The concept is sound, the gun is beyond ugly.

It makes a Glock look loveable.

after reading the stuff and looking at the photos and taking a long meditative cleansing breathe...NO... :(
ps-- i'm not against innovation...but...this looks like a answer to a problem that never existed...
i don't know if i really wanted a second look...the first look hurt my eyes... :)

EDIT: i must admit my comments were and are somewhat un-kind...i apologize for this, but man the Rhino
just doesn't do it for me, others may enjoy its uniqueness, its reduced felt recoil, even the innovative design
therefore, i commend them on there selection and wish them well and God's speed...just don't ask me to shoot it... :O

I makes sense regarding recoil. But the sights being so much above the bore cause other issues.

The marketplace will speak and give a 'yea' or a 'nay'.

We've had this conversation before. I personally think the Taurus Judge is an ugly gun with a stupid concept. But what do I know, since Taurus has sold more 'n a boatload of them.

Have you seen a picture of the linkage they had to design to make the 'hammer' work? Regardless of the gun's success, some engineer deserves an award for that piece of work.

It gives 30% decries in recoil, The 357 now comes 9 mm moon clip , in a very small package. I'm looking at it for CCW. I hope this 25 oz pistols is at the disturbers soon.

Go figure... I'll stick with my Colt's SAAs. For social work, I have my S&W and 1911s.

I could warm up to it if the grips looked more traditional; the cylinder/barrel orientation makes sense though.

My problem is what I have read elsewhere what is being done by Chiappa. Apparently there is a RF chip in the gun for tracking purposes. I don't like that .idea nor will I support it in buying it
