Chiappa Rhino .44 Magnum “Elite” Limited Edition
Chiappa Firearms Rhino .44 Magnum ELITE Edition: a 44-piece limited masterwork merging mechanical precision and modern art
Chiappa Firearms proudly announces the release of the RHINO ELITE 60DS – L FRAME, an exclusive artistic evolution of the legendary Rhino platform. Limited to just 44 individually numbered pieces, each Elite model represents a singular fusion of firearms engineering, Italian industrial design, and contemporary graphic artistry.
This limited-edition revolver elevates the Rhino platform from a high-performance firearm into a collectible work of art, combining both functionality and visual sophistication in a way that will appeal to serious shooters and discerning collectors alike.
The RHINO 44 Elite project enhances the revolver’s mechanical architecture through an integrated visual design inspired by the low-poly aesthetic. The hand-applied graphics reinterpret the rhino’s textured skin and iconic Rhino symbol using polygonal shapes, softened to echo the patterning of the revolver’s distinctive barrel windows.
The effect is a modern, sculptural take on a classic revolver platform that emphasizes both strength and elegance. Each Elite model features a one-of-a-kind color combination, making every revolver a truly unique collectible, impossible to replicate, and a testament to Chiappa’s dedication to craftsmanship.
The Elite series also represents a new benchmark in presentation. Each RHINO ELITE 60DS is housed in a bespoke display case meticulously machined from a solid block of aluminum, custom-painted to match the revolver’s color theme, and lined with premium Italian leather. The case provides not only secure storage but a striking display option suitable for galleries, collectors’ rooms, or premium gun collections.
Accompanying each model is a hand-signed certificate of authenticity, a custom display base, and a Rhino 44 patch, ensuring that every Elite revolver arrives as both a fully realized art piece and a high-performance firearm.
From a technical standpoint, the RHINO ELITE 60DS retains all the performance features for which the Rhino platform is known. Chambered in .44 Remington Magnum, it features a 6-inch barrel, bottom-chamber firing geometry for reduced muzzle rise, a double/single-action trigger system, Hogue rubber-style Cerakoted aluminum grips, and fiber-optic front and rear sights. The cylinder block, cylinder rotation lock, and hammer block ensure secure and reliable operation.
The RHINO ELITE 60DS – L FRAME is made in Italy and represents the peak of Chiappa’s dedication to craftsmanship, performance, and design innovation. With only 44 units produced worldwide, it is a rare opportunity to own a revolver that combines functional excellence with striking, modern artistry, making it ideal for collectors seeking a firearm that stands out as both a mechanical marvel and a work of art.
