A semi-automatic revolver...? Isn't that a oxymoron or something like that?hirundo82 wrote:I've heard About this for a while now, and it seems like an interesting concept. It is made by the same people behind the Mateba Autorevolver (which also fires from the bottom of the cylinder), so they make some unique guns.

Perhaps you should alter your screen name to "anygunexceptaGlockanywhere" ? :-)anygunanywhere wrote:I think the pistol looks better than any Glock I have seen.
I would like to shoot one.
Might need a different grip though.
If'n they fix the trigger issue and the grip I could be pursuaded to buy one.
I will never carry a Glock.

I would think it would need some sort of shield to protect the trigger finger from the gasses that blow out from between the cylinder and the forcing cone. Anyone who has made the mistake of holding a revolver like one would a semi-auto knows what I'm talking about. Even with the tight fit of a Python, gasses leak through and they can burn.

Yeah, I'm not sure about all that. While novel, I can't get over this feeling of a little too gimmicky.

If you read the grip instructions posted on their website, that is one of the things that they warn you not to do. It requires a completely different grip from a typical revolver.TDDude wrote:I would think it would need some sort of shield to protect the trigger finger from the gasses that blow out from between the cylinder and the forcing cone.

Re: .357 Rhino revolver unique in shooting from bottom cylin
Yep! A former coworker of mine shot a Heritage Rough Rider .22 of mine with just a subsonic .22LR round and burned his hand from the cylinder gap. I kinda wish I would've had the Magnum cylinder in with a hot round!TDDude wrote:I would think it would need some sort of shield to protect the trigger finger from the gasses that blow out from between the cylinder and the forcing cone.

Re: .357 Rhino revolver unique in shooting from bottom cylin
I quickly read a review in a gun mag at the store.
The gunmaker is aware of the escaping gas problem and may
redesign this aspect of the revolver.
The president of the gunmaker is a former LEO.
The Rhino has an 8.0 pound trigger.
The Rhino has a 6 round capacity in .357.
