Page "Revolver" Paragraph 19

Another recent development in revolver technology is the Rhino, a revolver introduced by Italian manufacturer Chiappa in 2009 and first sold in the U. S. in 2010.

The Rhino, built with the U. S. concealed carry market in mind, is designed so that the bullet fires from the bottom chamber of the cylinder instead of the top chamber as in standard revolvers.

This is intended to reduce muzzle flip, allowing for faster and more accurate repeat shots.

In addition, the cylinder cross-section is hexagonal instead of circular, further reducing the weapon's profile.
