The Channel Lock carries that same DNA of simple ideas executed with obsessive purpose. It’s the natural next step for shooters who demand gear that solves real problems, runs hard, and doesn’t flinch in the field or on the clock.

Chiappa Firearms will open 2026 with the introduction of a new L-Frame Rhino chambered in .44 Remington Magnum, a platform expansion that brings the Rhino’s well-known low-bore recoil characteristics into a larger, purpose-built magnum revolver.

The .44 Magnum 60DS lineup will be available in three finishes: Black, White Nickel, and Gold PVD. This expansion of the Rhino line delivers the full mechanical advantages of the updated L-Frame architecture while remaining accessible to a broad range of shooters and collectors.

Built around the Rhino’s trademark bottom-chamber firing geometry, the new .44 Magnum 60DS reduces muzzle rise and straightens recoil impulse, a decisive advantage when moving a high-pressure cartridge through a revolver platform. The enlarged L-Frame introduces updated ergonomics, including twin finger stops and a revised grip interface for improved leverage and repeatable hand placement. Despite the larger chambering, the frame maintains Chiappa’s characteristic balance between strength and weight using a 7075-T6 aluminum frame paired with a steel barrel and breech shield.

All three standard finishes share the same mechanical core and configuration. Each model uses a 6-inch barrel, fiber-optic sights (fixed front, fully adjustable rear), a double/single-action system, and a six-round cylinder. A comprehensive safety suite, comprising a cylinder block, rotation lock, and hammer block, is carried over from prior Rhino generations. Although each finish provides a distinct visual identity, the underlying platform remains a purpose-driven .44 Magnum revolver designed for stability, controllability, and repeatable performance.

The Rhino 60DS L-Frame weighs 2.92 lbs, measures 11 inches in overall length, and ships with Hogue rubber grips for improved recoil management. Each revolver is packaged in Chiappa’s hard case and includes the standard owner’s kit and Rhino sticker. Read more
