wobblinwheel Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 I already know I'm stoopid, but what's a DAO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microgunner Posted September 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Double Action Only for a trigger cocking only firearm.No thumb cocking provision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wobblinwheel Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Thanks for the info! I know I can be a real DA, and a SMF sometimes.....and a real PITA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microgunner Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Revolver arrived Mon. My first day at work today.This revolver is nice, much nicer than I dared to hope after my less than optimal experience with the Chiappa 1911-22.The frame is Ergal alloy (7075 aluminum) giving the revolver a weight of 24oz.It's, thankfully, much smaller than the photos led me to believe.The early production trigger woes have been corrected with a very smooth 8lb DA trigger pull. I can easily live with this.Even with the odd configuration this revolver snuggles comfortably in my hand, feeling right at home.The fit and finish is very good as well.The leather holster appears well made and serviceable. Looks good too.This is definitely a handgun from a James Cameron movie set. I like it.Here it is compared to my S&W BG38. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asmurff Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Looks good, the holster surprised me. I guess when you come out with something so different for concealed cary you'd have to provide a holster to get people to carry them. Although I think I may have seen some Rhino holsters on the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tal Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 I've been looking at the Rhino..It's the "Different" factor, that's kind of got me now. Let us know how it does on the range. Great Photos!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microgunner Posted September 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Just shot the new Rhino for the first time with Remington Golden Saber 125grn JHP.357mags. OMG!!!Almost no recoil at all. I've fired .38 wadcutter target loads from 4" bbls that recoiled more than this. It's absolutely amazing!If it wasn't for the substantial report I'd never know I was shooting a .357.I'm sold! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
