Metallurgist Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Does anyone have experience with these? I am interested in one but haven't shot one. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatJones Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I shot the snubby with .357 ammo. There was no muzzle lift, it was really cool. On the other hand, the trigger pull was heavier at the beginning than at the rear. This made it very difficult to shoot quickly and accurately. I'm intrigued by the possibilities of running one of these in ICORE classic division, but I'm waiting for a used one to come through the ship at the right price.

Metallurgist Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 Is the trigger changeable or able to be modified? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihocky2 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I have seen one or two pictures of the internals, if you are a clock maker you might be able to modify one. There are just a ton of moving parts inside of the Rhino. The concept is really cool, but I don't know how long that many parts would hold up to the abuse of action pistol competition.

Gregg K Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I have handled and shot them a few times. I have tried to keep an open mind about them but I just don't like them. They feel really sloppy and cheesy, I've felt better actions on cap guns. One of the times that I shot them when they were doing a demo they supplied you with 110 gr frangible rounds which really wasn't the right ammo to give a fair depiction of what the lower barrel can do for recoil. I would have preferred to shoot it with some 158 gr FBI man killer rounds to test the effect of the low barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cd662 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I'd say to stay away from it. The recoil does feel reduced but the trigger pull is absolutely horrible. What's more concerning is the internals; it's a series of L-shaped hooks that all engage with each other. There's way too many small moving parts going on.

bigdawgbeav Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I know this is an older thread, but I was just reading that there are 3 different "stage" triggers that can be installed. Stage III is designed for competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg K Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I would have assumed that the ones they put on demo and let us shoot at the IRC and the USPSA Nationals would of had their best trigger unless they weren't available then. A better feeling trigger still would not sell this gun to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twister Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I tried a Rhino for a while, spent a lot of time and money trying to get it to work, to no avail. I could not get a consistent trigger pull on all 6 shots. Some were awesome, some you had to use all your muscles just to get it to go off.

BHill Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Carmonize!! I'm not sure having someone dealing with car loans sprinkling fairy dust on the internals of this thing could fix that bundle of jigsaw pieces. My suggestion would be to fill it up with JB weld and use it as a paper weight. That would eliminate all the frustration of trying to get it to run.

twister Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I'm not frustrated any more, got a 686. I didn't think carbonized worked on guns any more. I had him do 2 625'so for me, they were excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
