I need help....is there a "need a new gun annomous"?

[jeepster09]

I just picked up a new Rhino 357.....wow does it shoot fantastic.

[OldrSlowrSGT]

I will say that that is the UGLIEST gun I've seen in a LONG time, but how does it shoot? Does that lower bore really help manage the recoil, or does it just reduce the flip by driving all the recoil straight back into your wrist? Does your hand ache after shooting it?

[Bawanna]

While I agree with the ugly which is of course to the eye of the beholder I've heard those things really shoot sweet.
It's definitely got some out of the box thinking involved in it's design.

Anything tough about cleaning and maintenance, same stuff just laid out a little different I reckon.

[jeepster09]

Viritualy NO RECOIL, very accurate. Very light weight also....and yes so ugly I like it.
It does push back rather than flip, but not a problem. Shot a box of HOT 357 through it just to see how it was. I think with 38's it would feel like a pellet gun.
I traded a $600 value gun for it from my local dealer.

Is it an alloy frame? Sure looks like there is a lot of "stuff" in front of the cylinder.

I have had some women that looked like that after I sobered up!!!!

[jeepster09]

Yes, it's alloy.

any plans of polishing the contact points?? hehehe..

[BuckeyeBlast]

Wow, that's interesting. I was just getting ready to ask how the hammer (up top) would impact the primer... now I see... interesting!

[OldLincoln]

Makes me wonder why not extend the cylinder about an inch with rifling, do away with the barrel and fire it electronically. Sure looks complicated in the cutaway.

RE: being an ugly gun. I was always told to marry an ugly woman, they are low maint., will work hard to please you, and you don't have to worry about another man stealing her.
I assume the same would hold true for an ugly gun?

[jocko]

to many parts for me!! KISS PREVAILS Looks to me like theya re trying to reinvent the wheel...

[Bawanna]

Darn, an amorer course for that must be about 30 days long and comes with 6 bottles of advil. Kind of pretty on the inside though.
Sort of like a Swiss watch or something. I looked inside one once, never did work again after that. Don't remember if it worked before I looked or not, maybe not.

Does look like some wood on the grip or potential for wood so maybe theres some chance of beautification in a small way. Maybe wood and glass side covers so we can see inside?

[Ljutic]

Nice. I'm curious how these stand up to long term firing since the Chippa .45/.22s get a bad rap for their "pot metal" composition.

Personally, I think you Rhino looks much better than the latest abomination from S&W.

[Bawanna]

Wow, hadnt seen those, thats not that bad! Hard to make a 410 revolver look like anything but a Judge. Bet they get a ton for that. They don't give the Judges away either.

[jocko]

I like the looks of the smith over the judge. but I want a 3" 410, not a ***** 2.5" . Just me I guess, Taurus offers I think only one model in 3" so I guess that is not what the buying public wants. Might just be me but I consider the 2.5" 410 the 380 and the 3" the 9mm.

DAMN. Almostt 30 ounces!!!! EMPTY. MSRP $680
