The Chiappa Rhino 60SAR .357 Mag 6″ OD Green is a single-action revolver that redefines what a wheelgun can do. By dropping the barrel axis low into the frame, Chiappa kills muzzle rise and softens felt recoil—so you stay on target faster. This aluminum-alloy six-shooter wears an OD green applied finish, walnut grips, and a blued hexagonal cylinder. It ships with three moon clips and a shell removing tool. If you collect oddball shooters that actually work, this is your next piece.

Key Features
- Low-Bore Axis Design – The barrel sits at the 6 o’clock position, aligning the bore with your hand. Why it matters: Muzzle flip drops drastically, letting you hammer follow-up shots without fighting the gun.

- Fixed Fiber Optic Front / Adjustable Rear – Green fiber front grabs light; rear clicks for windage and elevation. Why it matters: You can dial in your load without swapping parts.
- Enclosed Firing Mechanism & Cocking Indicator – The hammer is shrouded; a red dot pops up when cocked. Why it matters: Safe carry with visible status—no guessing if it’s hot.
- Moon Clip Compatible – Three included clips let you load/unload all six rounds at once. Why it matters: Faster reloads at the range or in competition.
Who It’s For
This Rhino is built for collectors who appreciate engineering that breaks the mold. It’s also for shooters who want a .357 they can run hard without punishing their hands. If you’ve ever said “revolvers are obsolete,” this gun will change your mind. The OD green finish and walnut grips give it a tacti-classic look that stands out in any display case.

FAQ
Is the Chiappa Rhino 60SAR reliable with .357 Magnum loads?
Yes. The low-bore axis and enclosed mechanism handle full-house .357 loads without issue. The aluminum frame holds up fine, but stick to factory ammo—hot handloads may accelerate wear on the alloy.
Can I shoot .38 Special +P in this revolver?
Absolutely. It cycles .38 Special +P and standard .38 Special. The moon clips work with both calibers. Just clean the cylinder after shooting .38s to prevent carbon ring buildup.
What’s the difference between the 60SAR and the 60DS?
The 60SAR is single-action only (manual hammer cocking). The 60DS is double-action/single-action with a shrouded hammer. If you want a traditional DA trigger, get the 60DS. The 60SAR is for precision shooters who prefer a consistent SA pull.
Does the OD Green finish wear easily?
The applied finish is durable but not indestructible. Holster wear and heavy use will show marks over time. It’s a collector-grade finish—treat it with care. Bluing on the cylinder is more prone to holster rub.
Are aftermarket grips available?
Yes. Several makers offer grips for the Rhino frame. The walnut grips are comfortable, but you can swap to rubber or G10 if you want more texture or a different angle.
