The Mateba is unique and interesting. That Rhino is grotesque.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Has anyone on this forum fired one?

How much do they cost?

It may be like medicine, or spring tonic.  Anything that awful has to be good for you.

Actually appears to be a well designed revolver with many new concepts.  I've followed Grant Cunningham's review for a good bit, he's on part 7 now:

Hope that answers all the quetions.

That Grant Cunningham website is interesting... The Rhino is ugly and looks like a handful.

I've followed Gran't blogs for several years.  I've read a majority of his articles and he seems like a common-sense gunsmith.  I particularly subscribe to his : "if it slides use grease and if it rotates use oil" line of thinking.

 

He also had a good letter to CZ that I reposted on the DWF a while ago.

Here is an excerpt from a review on the American Rifleman site.

At first glance, the Chiappa Rhino resembles something out of Sci-Fi/Action

Thrillers such as “Serenity” or “Gamer.” This initial reaction would be correct as its heavily modified predecessor, the Mateba auto-revolver, was featured in films of this genre. 

Here is the link if you want to read more.
