NEW Chiappa 120DS Long Barrel Revolver

JDR imports reloading goods to order and has a special interest in historical carbines and all forms of S1 pistols and revolvers.

We also supply everything to do with wet tumbling, with machines ranging from the Rebel 17 to the large, industrial-sized CRC units.

Any chance of this coming with a thumb hole stock? I don’t think it would be difficult to come up with fancy foregrip that attaches to the front lower picatinny rail, then we would be looking at a Mateba 6 Unica Grifone rival and then I would snatch you hand off!

No, not seen one. They aren't even in the country yet.

Sorry, I don't think they come with the kind of thumbhole alternatives.

Stock looks a bit short for comfort on that one. Possibly too short to be legal too.

A new version of the mateba would be nice, I'm always a little concerned that one day I'm going to break something in mine that I can't replace, and that will be the end of it.

People take the proverbial about the appearance, but it's lovely to shoot.
Careful now/that sort of thing

I guess the stock could be anything you like if it is custom made.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a gunsmith who would be up to the challenge to ‘Grifonicate’ one of these Chiappa Rhinos?

If you look you can see a rail on the front of the barrel, its there, by the looks even though there is a dip it will be line, possibly with the irons....
