Chiappa ~ Rhino 200DS ~ .357 Magnum

The unique and highly concealable Chiappa Rhino 200DS is a six-shot double/single action revolver chambered in .357 Magnum and features a 2-inch barrel lined up with the bottom chamber of a flat-sided cylinder to designed to aid in concealment. There is a square notch milled into the frame for the rear sight, and the front is a serrated ramp pinned into place. The cylinder release is a lever on the left side of the frame that rotates downward under your thumb. What appears to be the hammer is actually the hammer's cocking lever; the hammer is set way down in the frame. At the top rear of the frame is a small red plunger that protrudes when the unseen hammer is cocked. The cylinder can't be opened when the hammer is cocked, and to de-cock the gun the procedure is the same as on any other double-action revolver: Carefully hold back the cocking lever, pull the trigger and then slowly lower the hammer by use of the hammer cocking lever. These designs make the Chiappa Rhino 200DS a revolutionary platform meant to reduce felt recoil and muzzle flip while allowing better accuracy in a small conceal/open carry package.
