BOTTOMS UP .. CHIAPPA REVOLVER - Now in 10MM:

 Christmas is coming ..

Where do I start? - Either I'm really old and dropped-off to sleep .. Or the CHIAPPA website is a heap of Italian doggiedoos. - It was S L O W to load and useless as far as being helpful. Maybe I'm a grumpy old fart and it just was a slow internet day in my rural New Zealand location. - I nearly gave-up.

Luckily they make some innovative & interesting guns in Brescia Italy.

They Fire From The BOTTOM CHAMBER: 10 MM Auto.
Now THAT is an Interesting 6x shot  10 MM..
Chiappa make their RHINO revolvers in .357 Magnum, 9 MM, and now in 10 MM Auto.
They are not cheap to buy, but are High Quality and come with a range of finishes.

- Perhaps an independent enthusiast started converting their 357s into 10 MM and proved there was a demand in America eh ..

American HANDGUNNER send me e-mailed stories that I enjoy ..


I'd buy one for sure .. but my guess is that they will have sent me up the chimney before one of these cleared NZ Border Protection/Police and it would have converted more than NZ$5,000 from my mattress into Italian Euros.

Naturally I might be wrong. - The RHINO revolvers have SIX CHAMBERS with the barrel firing from the BOTTOM CHAMBER .. so they align the recoil impulses much better with your wrists and forearms - thereby reducing felt recoil.

CHIAPPA have been around now for 67 years so they likely know how to make good guns.

Why other makers such as S&W, Ruger, Colts can't get off their asses and offer a version of a revolver firing from the bottom bunk is almost inexplicable - except I understand that none of them are interested in shooters beyond taking their dollars as profit for their shareholders.

Maybe Glock Ges. might be tempted to develop a polymer framed - striker fired revolver - firing from the bottom chamber in 327 Fed Mag (8 mm Glock) with an eight shot cylinder that swivels to either side in a horizontal plane .. EVERYONE would have to get one.

Dream On eh,

Life is effing BRILLIANT,

Are YOU Fit and Proper?

Are NZ Police 'FIT AND PROPER PERSONS'?

"trust me"- how many senior Police Commissioners have resigned/retired now?

7 - any more to come?

In The Interest of PUBLIC SAFETY .. We NEED

FIREARMS LICENCES FOR NZ POLICE.
