info on Chiappa White Rhino 357

I got the 357 snub and while it's tricky to learn to shoot at 6 o clock, the recoil is nothing. Mine seems very well made & I don't see it falling apart soon. I find the trigger smooth & have no complaints. Mine came with rubber grips and a great holster. While I respect others opinions, I'm happy with mine. :)
 
The first one I got was the 200D hammerless. I was having a lot more trouble dealing with the lack of rear sight than I expected. A buddy of mine pulls it up for the first time and plants the whole cylinder inside 2", gives me a funny look, says it works fine and asks me what my problem is. He thought it felt and worked great. Neither of us are pistol guys, by the way.
I got the 4" barrel model because it has a rear sight. I had read that the rubber grip worked better to absorb recoil. This makes sense, so I fully expected to swap the grips off my 200D to it. The fuller wooden grip just felt so darn nice I decided to try it out. I expected more felt recoil, but figured it might be worth it. Unexpectedly, I didn't perceive any more felt recoil. John thought the rubber grip was great, I preferred the wooden. We're not all the same. You just have to try stuff out and see what works for you as an individual.

The recoil is really just push back. The low barrel pretty much eliminates muzzle flip, but the laws of physics don't change. Fortunately the force is really channeled nicely straight back and isn't a hand hurter. Whenever there are discussions of .38 and .357s, people always make comments about the downsides of the .357 with lack of recovery and control and stuff. You get to ignore those comments with a Rhino. You certainly get a firmer push from a .357 in a Rhino, but its recovery is better than my Walther PPS 9mm or my wife's Sig P238 .380.

I participate to the patent and I'm at your disposal for any information
About the recoil, it's evident that cannot be changed because the bullet give the same effort in any revolver with the same lenght of barrell, but is part of the patent that it is distributed on the maximum area it is possible to use. The first thing is that when you shoot the effort is on all the hand because the handle contact the hand in the all point, you can control it taking the revolver in the hand, evidently unloaded, and having someone that shake it taking from the barrell. In the other hand the shoot of the Rhino is in line so you use all the wrist to compensate the recoil, when normally the revolver doesn't shoot in line. To finish the trigger permit to work in line too and all this things permit to have less sensation about the recoil
