I'm clearly not in the right marketing demographic for this one, although -- who knows? -- it could turn out to be a revolutionary and popular design.
https://www.chiappafirearms.com/product.php?id=285 wrote:The Rhino revolver design features a lower bore axis compared to other revolvers. This means the barrel is directly in line with the shooters hand, wrist and arm. This results in almost no muzzle rise and, because energy is better absorbed and controlled by the entire arm, it reduces the amount of recoil felt by the shooter. In addition, the alignment also gives the shooter a more natural point of aim. Shoot it and feel the difference!
MSRP: $1,524.00

To my knowlege those have been on the market for many of years but in the blued version of them though. I own one of their .22lr revolvers and am pleased with the quality and reliability of it.

Would I be out of line if I said it looks like something Sadam Hussein would own?
There’s been a few blue models for sale here locally and it’s a pretty interesting revolver firing from the bottom of the cylinder. Not something I would entertain owning but interesting just the same.

If my memory serves me correct, one of the blued models was used in the remake of the movie Total Recall.

Interesting design. I'll give it that.
Don't shoot much in double action 357 revolvers, these days, but when I do, my DW 715 is all I need.
