Italian firearms manufacturer Armi Chiappa has developed a very cool looking snub nosed type revolver called the Chiappa Rhino Revolver.
From the Manufactuers Website Overview of the Handgun:
Rhino Revolver.....
The new Chiappa Rhino has revolutionized the revolver with a patented design that tames the prehistoric caracteristic that most revolvers possess. For starters, the appearance is like no other revolver you have ever seen. Typically a revolver fires from the top most chamber which is aligned with the barrel. The new Chiappa Rhino barrel is aligned with the bottom most chamber which is the key component to Rhino’s tame characteristics. Due to the lower position of the barrel, the Rhino’s appearance is abstract from any other revolver design.
From Patent filed for the Chiappa:
Application number: 10/962,988 - Publication number: US 2005/0126062 A1 - Filing date: Oct 8, 2004
The Rhino and Mateba were both designed by the same person, Mr Emilio Ghisoni.
