Very cool! I have always had a certain affection for oddball firearms and the Rhino is no exception. Well made video showing the features of the Rhino. I have yet to see one in person, if I do the wife may not be happy as I may buy it. :)

Good job. I share your affinity for the Rhino. I have the White Rhino snub in 357 and it's a hoot to shoot.

 

When money permits, I'd like to get one of the 5" models.

Yeah, I got the 60DS shortly after I got the 40DS...lol

I second that! I picked up a goofy little over under Leinad a while back. Then hit the dear wife up for a AR pistol for Christmas. I had better not come home with anymore for a while. :)

lol.....sorry?

[hipower]

lol.....sorry?

 

Nah...won't help. Just hand over the pistol and we'll call it all good.  lol

 

Actually, my brother-in-law has one that I may someday get. And it's not like I don't have another 357. I got a couple of Smith 19s if I get the urge to beat myself with the 357.

Now ya went and done it, but I will wait for the price to comedown a bit, 40 S&W with a 6" barrel is a bit pricey.

The 40 is a model number. The pistol is actually a .357. They are as bad as Glock on model numbers not matching caliber.

The Rhino is made in .357mag, .38spl only, 9x19mm, 9x21mm, and .40S&W. There is also a .357mag/9mm combo gun available with 2 cylinders Edited December 30, 2015 by nightrunner

My bad. I didn't know that.

Just clarifying :)

FWIW, I believe the 40 is their code for a 4" bbl, 20 for a 2", etc.

Great video, thanks.

Great video and naration as well as being entertainly informative. That's one of the secrets to a good vidorgrapher, packing the prodction so it immediatly grabs ones attention and holds the viewers attention through its completion. I'll probably never purchase one of your more "modernestic revolvers" but have owned more Colt's, S&W & Ruger's then I want to think about. Now if you want to talk about sweet guns then a 1950's model Colt Python, S&W K or N frame...you should find someone with an early model S&W 38/44 Outdoorsman....wow...

Great video, thanks.

No problem.....glad you liked it!

S&W K or N frame...

The Model 19-3 in the video is a K frame

Yep. I've owned several M-19's and have a 19-3 . If I ever meet up with you I'll let you handle and shoot a pre WW II S&W M&P 38 Special. It'll make you want to cry knowing how good S&W bread and butter working man's gun used to be.

As usual the video quality is very good.
I’ve shot a lot of 19’s and 66’s in competition and they all pointed exactly at the target .
How does that Rhino do against a Smith at 25 yards?
