Chiappa Firearms is an Italian manufacturer founded in 1958, producing a broad range of firearms for self-defense, hunting, sport shooting, and historical collecting. Their Rhino revolvers use a bottom-cylinder-bore alignment that reduces felt recoil and muzzle flip; they are chambered in .357 Magnum and 9mm. Chiappa also makes lever-action rifles including the 1892 Alaskan series, reproductions of historical arms such as the 1861 Springfield and Sharps carbine, and modern firearms like the M6 Survival Rifle.
