I am very thankful to our customers and to the whole Chiappa
Firearms team. We have been working together on a very engaging
project, the RHINO revolver, for the past two years. The success of
this innovative gun has been enormous, by far exceeding our most
positive expectations. Apart from the commercial success, I feel very
proud of the way we managed to develop a pioneering project and
of the courage that we and our customers showed when we chose to
embrace the Rhino program with enthusiasm, even in a moment of
strong market recession.
My compliments and my gratitude to all!

Chiappa Group
Chiappa Firearms can boast a glorious history: the founder Ezechiele Chiappa
founded Armi Sport in 1958, and was among the pioneers who gave birth to the
replica firearms world.
The activity developed along the years into an industrial corporation including
Armi Sport (defense and target shooting revolvers, replica firearms), Kimar
(blank, signal and small caliber guns), ACP (laser training system), Costa (metal
surface treatment), Chiappa Firearms Ltd (branch company in Dayton, Ohio).
The group is still proudly owned and controlled by the Chiappa family.
The production plant inAzzanoMella (Brescia, Northern Italy) has been structured
in order to guarantee a flawless production flow, a cutting edge automation at
top level in the field, and optimization of logistics. Artisanal abilities (such as
manual finishing and oiling of the stocks) cohabit with advanced technology (the
CAD/CAM system manages the full production flow, from design to machining
to deliveries). All components are manufactured in house, even moulds and
machining tooling – which assures an excellent quality/price ratio for all Chiappa
products.
