Anybody familiar with this concept.
The Rhino fires out of the bottom chamber of the cylinder.

Hahahahaha. It occurs to me that somebody here has one of these. I'm not sure who, but I'm trying to say it's baboon.

Neat idea, but I'm not sure it's $700 worth of neat.

So what is the selling point of such a revolver other then it's weird as hell?

Dunno. But it looks eerily like the Mateba do-do bird revolver from years past. Another fucked up design that never caught fire.

I guess its for someone who has mangled hands.An ergonomics nightmare.

Futt buck ugly.

Looks like the line of recoil would be a lot lower, making it more controllable? Just to be contrary, I like it.

I've got some fucked up taste but this monstrosity aint one of them. Sorry, but I like the classic lines of my S&W model 27 with the 8 3/8 " barrel.

The reviews on the 1911 look a like 22lr pistol were mixed.

Go to your room.

Looks like it's got a rail for a "shoot me" light.

gunnysmith · 12-07-2011, 07:50 PM

The recoil line is on the thumb/finger web, less recoil disturbance for recovery of sight picture.

10 Bears · 12-07-2011, 07:56 PM

Just to be consistent, that is the most fugly revolver I have EVER seen!

It was featured in my latest NRA publication, couldn't believe what I was seeing.
So, I went to the website and looked at the various models.
I can't find ANYTHING appealing about it.

i handled one the stubby 2'' ...it's not bad ! low axial barrel angle would help control when shooting .....

Looks like it would shoot 2 inches low
