Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this double / single action revolver today for a penny-start auction; this is the Chiappa Rhino 200DS!
The Chiappa Rhino 200DS has been officially discontinued, marking the end of its production run. Its distinctive design, compact size, and innovative mechanics have always drawn attention, but with no new units being made, demand among collectors has noticeably increased. As availability continues to shrink, interest from enthusiasts has driven a spike in its perceived collectible value, making the 200DS a sought-after piece in today’s secondary market.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Chiappa Rhino 200DS is a compact, double-action/single-action revolver chambered in .357 Magnum, notable for its unconventional and highly innovative design. Unlike traditional revolvers, the Rhino fires from the bottom cylinder chamber rather than the top, dramatically lowering the bore axis to reduce muzzle flip and felt recoil. The “200” designation refers to its 2-inch barrel, making it a highly concealable option for personal defense while still offering the ballistic performance of the .357 Magnum cartridge. Its flat-sided cylinder, angular frame lines, and modern materials give it a distinctively futuristic appearance that sets it apart from classic revolver designs. Chiappa designed the Rhino with ergonomics and controllability in mind, incorporating features such as a fiber-optic front sight for rapid target acquisition, an enclosed hammer for snag-free carry, and a lightweight alloy frame that helps balance portability with durability. The reduced recoil impulse from the low bore axis allows for faster follow-up shots, a notable advantage in defensive scenarios. The revolver’s unique engineering also minimizes barrel rise, translating into improved accuracy potential even in a snub-nose format. For collectors and shooters alike, the Rhino 200DS offers a rare combination of cutting-edge mechanical innovation and practical performance. While its appearance and unconventional firing geometry may spark debate among traditionalists, its function-focused design has earned respect from those who prioritize shootability in a defensive revolver. Whether carried for self-defense or admired for its engineering, the Chiappa Rhino 200DS stands as one of the most distinctive revolvers in the modern market.
