Rhino 10Mm Lineup

Chiappa Firearms is expanding its Rhino series by introducing two new revolvers chambered in the powerful, versatile 10mm Auto. Available in a 6-inch matte-black model and a 3-inch nickel-finished variant, these new handguns blend the unmistakable Rhino design with the hard-hitting performance of 10mm, offering shooters an exciting new option for defense, hunting, and sport shooting.

With a distinctive barrel alignment and recoil-taming design, the Chiappa Rhino harnesses the strength and speed of the 10mm Auto—a caliber prized for its flat trajectory, deep penetration, and proven stopping power. Whether on the range, in the field, or relying on a sidearm for personal protection, the 10mm Rhino offers the confidence and control demanded by serious shooters.

Both models feature fiber-optic front sights, adjustable rear sights, ergonomic grips, and Chiappa’s reliable double/single-action trigger system. These are all designed to make the most of the 10mm Auto’s impressive ballistics. For California shooters, both models will also be available in California-compliant Single Action Only (SAO) configurations.
