Ergonomics and controllability are the two most important traits for a defensive revolver. Shooters who prioritize fast, accurate follow-up shots and a comfortable grip will find designs that lower recoil impulse and improve natural point-of-aim far more useful than marginal gains in capacity.

CHIAPPA RHINO 60DS blends innovative geometry with practical features. This 6-shot, double-action revolver employs a flat cylinder that reduces the overall profile, aiding comfort and offering a better grip—especially for shooters with smaller hands. The design also features a lower bore axis that aligns the barrel with the bottom chamber to lower the center of gravity, improving point-ability and producing virtually no muzzle rise in rapid strings.

Design and Ergonomics

The flat cylinder is more than visual flair. By narrowing the revolver’s grip footprint, the Rhino 60DS allows tighter hand placement and improved ergonomics for a wider range of shooters. The lower bore axis shifts recoil forces closer to the shooter’s arm, keeping the muzzle on target during follow-up shots—an advantage for both defensive use and precision work at the range.

Sights, Trigger, and Handling

Equipped with a fiber optic front sight and adjustable rear sight, the Rhino 60DS provides a fast sight picture and the ability to tune point-of-impact for different loads. Its double-action capability gives you a consistent trigger option when speed matters, and the six-shot cylinder balances capacity with a compact grip.
