I plan to try it for plate rack at Monday night pistol league this year. You only get six rounds for plate rack so the Rhino capacity isn't a handicap. And the trigger is good in DA and great in SA.

Got am email notification last night that my backordered 9mm moonclips shipped from Midway yesterday and I should have them by Tuesday. Anyone looking for the 9mm/40 moonclips, Midway seems to be the only one that was showing them in stock yesterday. I also found a fitting Hogue Handall grip sleeve that fits the Rhino wood grip and put that on since grip availability is currently limited so a follow up range trip is in order next week.

All I see on the header is: Chiappa Rhino - Should I buy 5. I'm thinking, yup - why not? I bought 4 Vepr 12's for no good reason:-) So get 5 or more. But don't know the firearm at all so was going to refrain....I'm glad I clicked on the thread:-)

Well, the title says: Chiappa Rhino - Should I buy 5 or 6 inch?
So your viewing device must be cropping.
Good that you decided to join us though, hope you enjoyed.

Ok, that loading tool is pretty darn cool. I like your taste in guns. I really want to get a Rhino.

Pretty neat device you got there, Depami. I’ve no use for a moon clip loader currently, but I am curious to know more about it.

I shot a 4 in Rhino in 357 shortly after they came out. At the time I hated the look, but the recoil impulse was amazingly good. These days my gun asthetics are not as stringent if form follows a desired function. If I was looking for an EDC or trail revolver, I'd seriously consider it. For general purpose or house gun, I'd get the 5 incher. For carry the 4. I'm not sure what the 6 in barrel on a rhino would get me, particularly in a 9.
