    Default Anyone own a rhino 60DS?

    Thoughts on it? It looks awesome. I'm thinking this might be my first revolver.

    Although I think they are cool, and a sweet concept, we had 2 at work, both broke from being handled (i broke the snubby) from being handled before they could even be sold. Trigger just went limp. I think after the kinks are worked out though they could be sweet wheel guns.

    They would probably be one of the few revolvers I'd be interested in owning. I had no idea they had problems though.

    So was I, until it broke just from de-cocking it. Still think they just need stronger internals?

    My buddy has one. It's a great revolver. The low bore axis makes it very smooth to shoot, but some people say it feel odd in their hands. I never had that problem, but ymmv. I think the weight and feel are great. Everyone I know has also thought it be be very accurate. All around it's very solid gun with one one thing wring with it. The price. Last I looked they were still at or over 700 bucks. Even for how good it is I think it's hard to justify when you can get a Ruger GP100 for 450. But if that's a price point you are comfortable with it is a fine choice.

    I looked at one yesterday. odd thing is i was informed of the same issues you mentioned. For the price point i could score a nice 4" S&W .357

    Shot a rental for a while, it's definitely one of those guns that you should try before you buy. Guys at the range said about 50% of the people love shooting it, the others hate it. I kinda hoped I would have liked it, but in the end I just wasn't feeling the love.

    Anybody look at the pic that they have of the trigger/hammer mechanism? I'm not surprised that they break, looks like way too many parts to me. And with the barrel on the bottom the sight parallax seems to be pretty large. I wonder how their accuracy is when you have shots at various ranges.

    The internals look like a swiss watch to be quite honest. Nice guns, but I've heard the same thing. I couldn't justify owning one for the price.
