An interesting looking new .357 Magnum snubby is coming to the market, the Chiappa Rhino. It's odd appearance is due to the fact that the barrel aligns with the bottom of the cylinder instead of the top...supposedly producing less muzzle flip because the impulse is centered on your palm rather than elevated above the plane of your arm...which makes sense.
Damned thing even LOOKS like a rhino! If any of you are thinking you've heard of a wheelgun like this before, you're likely think of the
Mateba Autorevolver which was designed by the same guy (Emilio Ghisoni). It is scheduled to be released in "late 2009" and no MSRP or other info seems to be available at this time.
