NEW Chiappa 120DS Long Barrel Revolver
Posted: Sat Jun 23, 2018 1:21 pm
Just announced: the NEW Chiappa 120DS Long Barrel Revolver, specifically designed for the UK market.
Info from the supplier reads:
“The Rhino is the most innovative development in revolver technology in decades, if not since the creation of the revolver itself. Refusing to be constrained by tradition and previous design limitations, the Rhino has improvements that move the revolver forward into the 21st century. Unconventional in appearance and superior by performance, the Rhino fires from the bottom of the cylinder rather than the top. This dramatically reduces muzzle rise and recoil felt by lowering the axis of the bore almost to the palm of the shooters hand. An aluminium alloy frame and barrel shroud make the Rhino lightweight and easy to carry.”
Spec:
• Calibre Options: .38/.357Mag and 9mm (.44Mag to follow)
• Finish: Black Anodized or Nickel
• Barrel: 12” (1:12 Twist)
• Sights: Adjustable Fibre-Optic
• Grip: Walnut
• Weight: 1155g
The cheaper model is the black anodised and retailing at £1,250. I'm still waiting for further info and more images, but the nickel version should be about another £130.
Chiappa says that they aim to deliver to the UK around early October, but urge advance orders as the initial run is likely to disappear quickly.
Enquiries to: jon@jdrguns.com please.
Thanks,
Jon
