    If I had a dollar for every time CAPITALISM was blamed for problems caused by the GOVERNMENT, I'd be a fat filmmaker with a baseball cap.

    12 string guitars only have 6 extra strings, but they're 85 TIMES as likely to be used in a song about wizards.

    I got the model from Bandai.

    I take it back, that's not Deckard's gun, it's definitely of Klingon origin.

    Watched some youtube videos of people shooting these. Looks like no muzzle flip at all. One reviewer compared the recoil of the 2" Rhino firing .357 to a 6" steel frame firing .38.

    May look at the 2" later this week.

    Not really a new idea...

    Just the first time put into commercial production.
    Guns and Ammo had an extensive article several years ago about a PPC shooter that was custom converting S&W revolvers IIRC to shoot from the lower cylinder. As well as converting them to dual caliber with .38 out of the lower and .410 out of the upper barrel.

    The Rhino is designed by the same designer of the Mateba.

    I like it. Can't bring myself to plunk that kind of money down though. Maybe when the thrill has worn off and the price drops, I'd buy one. Can't wait to see the range report.

    As cool as it is, if I had the money I'd still probably get a S&W 6 inch 686+.

    FWIW, you do know how to hold that thing dont you? Chiappa has a video on their site to show you how to hold it... nothing really special, just keep your supporting hand away from the front of the cylinder if you value your fingers.

    That's SOP when shooting ANY revolver.

    Yep, and that alone would be reason enough to get one!

    Yup, especially because Deckard's gun was a Mannlicher SL action welded on a Charter Arms Bulldog revolver. Seen in the movie is real cool. Seen in picture, it's real FUGLY!

    It's so futuristic it bends reality around its bullets and places them directly in the target through a wormhole without them actually having to fly through the air.

    Mark, did you ever buy one? I saw your thread come up when I did a search and I was wondering if you took the plunge.

    I see you know this weapon's technology pretty well.
