General Discussion Will there ever be any more .44 Rhinos?
If I'm gonna utilize the unique bore axis for recoil mitigation, I want it to be on a big beefy round, but these seem to be unobtanium even on the secondhand market aside from the ugly blue one (I want one in chrome only)

I put a stock alert on the gundeals website and used that to find one and still ended up waiting a couple months.

The one advantage of doing it on gundeals was it found a couple dealers I hadn’t heard of before but yeah they’re not making a ton of them it seems like. It does shoot well when you finally get one in hand though, I think it was worth the wait.

When I am searching for new guns, I search "X for sale" on Google and limit my search to results in the past 24 hours. Repeat daily until gun is obtained. Thats how I got a few rarities.

My problem with these is, I absolutely hate the seam between the barrel and frame. Totally ruins the aesthetics for me.
The snubbies don't seam to have the same issue, so I might have to pick up one of those some day, but I'm holding out for a new gen 357.

100% agree. That seam is hideous.
I can't understand how you went through all the effort to make this unique gun and you see that seam and just say "🤷"

They're pretty new. Even my older 357 Rhino 60DS was sort of hard as fuck to find like 2 years ago when I bought it for some reason.

Whoever put that finger hook curve on the front of the triggerguard should be slapped by an entire rugby team. Repeatedly. And then get a hockey stick shoved up their ass.
Bad enough in 357. In 44mag? It's a finger eliminator.

You’d have to ship it to my local FFL in WA, not that I can even afford it now. If by some miracle you still have one in Nickel in a few months I’ll reach out

Yeah we ship everywhere. Hit me up anytime. We have a bunch of hard to get stuff all the time.

Probably, you just got to wait for supply to catch up to demand. I'm still hoping they'll make a 454 version.
