PRESS REVIEW
The highly swept “beavertail” allows the
shooter to sit the Rhino as low in the hand as
possible.
A red “cocking indicator” on the top of the
Rhino lets the shooter know when it is cocked.
A doubleaction- only version is
available and is the model that I would
select for personal carry. Ron Norton let
me examine his personal carry gun, which
is a DAO version in which he stoned the
action, making for a very smooth and easy
to operate trigger. No doubt there will be
a number of custom gunsmiths who will
offer modifications to the Rhino once it is
widely available.
The Rhino can also be considered
one of the more “safety conscious” revolver
designs to come along, offering four
different safety features:
Cylinder/Hammer
-The Cylinder/
Hammer safety functions when the
cylinder is not properly closed; in this case
the firing mechanism is blocked.
Cylinder Rotation Safety
-This
SAFETY FIRST
safety operates when the cylinder does not
reach the correct position when rotating.
The cylinder stop will not engage
the cylinder notch not permitting the
trigger to travel its full length and release
the hammer. This safety will avoid any
shots from being fired while the cylinder
is not fully aligned with the barrel, thus
preventing lead splatter or timing issues.
Hammer Block Safety
-This device
will not allow the hammer to hit the firing
pin in case of an accidental release in
either single- or double-action mode. The
internal hammer is thought to be safer as
compared to revolvers with an external
hammer. The Rhino’s internal hammer
can reach the firing pin only when the
trigger is completely depressed and if this
does not happen, the Rhino design features
a mechanical interference between the
hammer and trigger.
