SKU: CSSI|CH340282 Category: Revolvers

The Chiappa Rhino 60DS .357 Mag 6″ OD Green Walnut is a serious piece of EDC iron for shooters who want bottom-barrel performance without the bulk. Unlike traditional revolvers, the Rhino fires from the bottom chamber—lowering bore axis, reducing muzzle rise, and making follow-up shots faster. With a 6-inch vent-rib barrel, OD Green Cerakote frame, blued cylinder, and walnut grips, this 6-round .357 Magnum revolver ships with three moon clips for reloads. It’s a modern classic that earns pocket-dump bragging rights.

Key Features

Bottom-Firing Barrel System – Why it matters: Fires from the 6-o’clock position instead of the top, which drops bore axis by about 30% compared to a standard revolver. That means less muzzle flip and faster recovery for follow-up shots on the range or in a defensive scenario.
6-Inch Vent-Rib Barrel with Accessory Rail – Why it matters: The vent rib dissipates heat during extended strings, and the rail sections let you mount a light or laser without a custom adapter. Practical for nightstand or trail use.
OD Green Cerakote Frame + Blued Cylinder – Why it matters: The two-tone finish looks sharp and resists corrosion. The Cerakote holds up to holster wear, while the blued cylinder gives a classic revolver vibe.
Walnut Grips with Finger Grooves – Why it matters: The wood grips fill your hand naturally and absorb recoil better than rubber on a .357. They also look damn good in a pocket dump photo.
Fiber-Optic Front and Adjustable Rear Sights – Why it matters: The bright green front fiber picks up fast in daylight, and the rear is click-adjustable for windage and elevation. No guessing, just point and shoot.

Who It’s For

This Rhino is for the EDC enthusiast who wants something different than a Glock or 1911. It’s ideal for open carry, hunting sidearm, or range toy. If you’re into pocket-dump posts and appreciate unique engineering, the 60DS fits your carry rotation. It also works for left-handed shooters—the cylinder swings out to the left, but the low bore axis doesn’t care which hand you use.

Pros & Cons

Pros: Low bore axis reduces muzzle rise significantly. Moon clips make reloads fast. Fiber-optic sights are field-friendly. OD Green finish is durable and unique. Walnut grips look premium.

Cons: The double-action trigger pull is heavier than a tuned 1911—expect around 12-14 lbs DA. Not ideal for pocket carry due to the 6-inch barrel length. Also, moon clips can bend if dropped; keep spares handy.

FAQ

Does the Chiappa Rhino 60DS shoot .38 Special +P?

Yes. The Rhino 60DS is chambered in .357 Magnum and can safely fire .38 Special and .38 Special +P rounds. The 6-inch barrel gives .38 Special loads a velocity bump, making it a solid choice for practice or low-recoil carry.

How do I load the moon clips for the Rhino 60DS?

Place each round into the moon clip, pressing until the rim snaps into the clip’s slots. Then drop the loaded clip into the cylinder. To unload, push the ejector rod to pop the clip out. It’s faster than speedloaders once you get the hang of it.

Is the OD Green Cerakote durable for daily carry?

Cerakote is a ceramic-based finish that resists scratches, corrosion, and solvents. Per Chiappa specs, it holds up well to holster wear, but expect some holster marks over time—that’s normal for any finish. The blued cylinder will show wear faster, so keep it lightly oiled.

Can I mount a red dot on the Rhino 60DS?

The 60DS does not come optic-ready, but the accessory rail sections on the barrel allow mounting a light or laser. For a red dot, you’d need a custom mount that attaches to the frame or barrel—check aftermarket options from companies like Allchin Gun Parts.
