Most revolvers send the recoil impulse up and over your wrist. The Chiappa Rhino does the opposite. By firing from the bottom chamber of the cylinder instead of the top, the bore sits almost in line with your hand and forearm, so the gun pushes straight back instead of flipping skyward. Touch off a full-house .357 Magnum round through this 6 inch barrel and you will understand why the Rhino has such a loyal following. The muzzle stays flat, follow-up shots come quicker, and long range sessions leave your wrist a lot happier.
The 60SAR is the single action version of the Rhino, which means you cock it for each deliberate, crisp trigger pull. That suits this configuration well, since the 6 inch barrel, fiber optic front sight, and fully adjustable rear sight are built for precise work at distance. Worth knowing up front: that spur on the back is not a traditional hammer. It is a cocking lever for the fully enclosed internal hammer, and a visible indicator lets you confirm at a glance when the gun is cocked. The hexagonal cylinder keeps the overall width trimmed down, and the aluminum alloy frame holds weight to right around two pounds, which is light for a 6 inch .357.
The OD green Cerakote finish over the frame and barrel shroud pairs nicely with the blued cylinder and walnut grips, giving this Rhino a field-ready look that stands apart from the usual black or stainless options. It runs .38 Special as well as .357 Magnum, so you can plink affordably and step up to magnum loads when it counts. Chiappa ships it with three moon clips and a shell removing tool, a nice touch that speeds up reloads and makes ejection cleaner. Whether you are chasing tight groups on steel or carrying it as a woods companion, this is one of the most interesting wheelguns you can put in a safe.
Yes. Like any .357 Magnum revolver, the Rhino 60SAR handles .38 Special without issue. That makes it easy to run softer, more affordable ammo for practice and save the magnum loads for hunting or when you want the full experience.
No, and this trips up a lot of first-time Rhino owners. The external spur is a cocking lever that works the fully enclosed internal hammer, and it returns to its rest position after cocking. A visible indicator on the gun shows you when the internal hammer is cocked.
It really does change how the gun behaves. Because the Rhino fires from the bottom chamber, the bore sits nearly in line with your hand and arm, so recoil pushes straight back instead of rotating the muzzle upward. Felt recoil with .357 Magnum is noticeably tamer than a conventional revolver of similar weight, and follow-up shots stay on target faster.
No, the Rhino 60SAR fires just fine with loose rounds loaded straight into the cylinder. The three included moon clips simply make loading and unloading faster by holding all six rounds together. Chiappa also includes a shell removing tool for popping spent cases out of the clips.
