Chiappa Firearms Rhino 40DS 357 Mag 4" 6-Shot DA/SA Revolver - Nickel

The Chiappa Firearms Rhino 40DS is a purpose-built .357 Magnum revolver engineered with Chiappa's signature bottom-barrel alignment. By aligning the barrel with the lowest chamber in the cylinder rather than the top, the Rhino dramatically reduces felt recoil, muzzle flip and perceived blast, while placing the shooter's hand naturally in line with the bore for faster, more intuitive target acquisition.

Chambered in .357 Magnum (and compatible with .38 Special), this small-frame 40DS variant pairs a 4-inch vent-rib barrel with a 6-shot cylinder, making it a versatile carry and home-defense platform. The steel cylinder and barrel wear a coordinated nickel-plated finish, and a nickel-plated aluminum alloy frame keeps the revolver light on the hip at 29.90 oz, with an overall length of just 8.50".

Shooters acquire targets quickly with a fixed fiber-optic front sight and an adjustable fiber-optic rear sight. The concealed hammer keeps the profile snag-free for concealed carry, while the DA/SA action delivers a smooth double-action pull for defensive work and a short, crisp single-action pull for precision shooting. Walnut grips provide a classic, secure hold, and moon clips are included for fast, positive reloads.

Designed for personal protection and sport, the Rhino 40DS stands apart from conventional revolvers with its distinctive look, comfortable shooting dynamics and easy-handling small-frame size. It is a genuinely different choice for shooters who want a defensive revolver that handles full-power .357 Magnum loads without punishing the shooter.
