Chiappa Rhino 30SAR 357 Magnum 6-Shot 3" CA Compliant Revolver

The Chiappa Rhino 30SAR delivers bottom-cylinder firing technology that dramatically reduces muzzle rise and felt recoil compared to traditional revolvers. This California-compliant 357 Magnum features a unique 6 o'clock barrel position that aligns with the bottom chamber rather than the top, creating a straight-line recoil impulse that keeps the firearm naturally on target for faster follow-up shots.

What Makes This Different

The Rhino's revolutionary design places the firing pin at the 6 o'clock position, allowing the barrel to fire from the bottom chamber of the cylinder. This configuration reduces muzzle flip by approximately 60% compared to conventional revolvers, enabling shooters to maintain sight alignment through rapid fire sequences. The aluminum alloy frame weighs significantly less than steel-framed competitors while maintaining structural integrity for magnum cartridges.

Key Features

• Bottom-firing barrel system reduces muzzle rise by 60% for faster target reacquisition
• 3-inch green Cerakote steel barrel with precision rifling for 357 Magnum/.38 Special
• Lightweight aluminum frame with green Cerakote finish resists corrosion and wear
• Blued steel 6-shot cylinder with smooth rotation and positive lockup
• Walnut grip panels provide secure hold and classic appearance
• Exposed hammer design allows single-action and double-action operation
• California-compliant configuration meets state regulations for legal ownership

The Rhino 30SAR excels in competitive shooting sports where rapid, accurate fire is essential. The reduced recoil impulse allows shooters to maintain sight picture through strings of fire, while the 3-inch barrel provides optimal balance between velocity and maneuverability. The revolver's unique mechanics make it particularly effective for shooters with smaller hands or those sensitive to recoil, without sacrificing the stopping power of the 357 Magnum cartridge.
