The Chiappa Rhino 30DS X in Stainless Steel

In a market saturated with revolvers that seem to echo the same conventional form, the Chiappa Rhino 30DS X Stainless Steel breaks the mold literally and figuratively. This is not a firearm for the casual plinker or the trend-follower; it is built for the shooter who understands mechanical balance, values recoil control, and respects innovation wrapped in stainless steel. The Rhino is more than just Chiappa’s flagship; it is a bold engineering statement for those who demand functional superiority in a sidearm.

Unlike traditional revolvers, where the bore sits high above the hand, the Rhino’s barrel aligns with the bottom chamber of the cylinder, drastically reducing muzzle flip and felt recoil. The result is an intuitive shooting experience that defies expectation, especially in a snub-like 3-inch barrel. Whether for defensive carry, range dominance, or simply to own a revolver that breaks from the herd, the Rhino 30DS X asserts itself with unmistakable presence. This is not about nostalgia but control, balance, and refinement born from mechanical evolution.

Chiappa’s choice of full stainless steel for this model adds heft and stability without compromising carry feasibility. The 30DS X is unmistakably modern, featuring a matte finish for reduced glare, G10 grips for tactile control, and a robust fiber-optic adjustable sight system that turns daylight into pinpoint accuracy. At just under 2.75 pounds with an overall length of 7.5 inches, it is substantial in the hand without becoming a burden. The Rhino’s profile is a blend of futuristic angles and traditional revolver essence. It is unapologetically Chiappa: functional, fearless, and built to perform. Read more

SAF Secures Partial Victory in New Jersey Sensitive Places Lawsuit

The Third Circuit Court of Appeals handed the Second Amendment Foundation and its partners a partial victory today in a case challenging New Jersey’s “Sensitive Places Law” but left in place carry restrictions for many public areas.

The case, Koons v. Platkin, challenges New Jersey law that create a series of “sensitive places” in which even permitted concealed carriers are prohibited from carrying their firearms. Those places create a patchwork of overlapping categories such as public gatherings, zoos, parks, beaches, recreation facilities, and more, intended to encompass nearly every square inch of the state.

In the partial victory, the Third Circuit upheld the preliminary injunction SAF won at the district court for some of these categories: youth sports events, private vehicles, public property and private property without the owners express consent. The Court also upheld the injunctions against a tax on the states carry permit, and a liability insurance mandate.

“Today, a panel of the Third Circuit concluded that ‘the People’ have the fundamental right to bear arms in public, with the minor caveat they simply can’t do so where people assemble with others, eat and drink, conduct commerce, discuss opinions, seek amusement and recreation, learn, worship, travel on public transit, seek leisure or community, and anywhere children or vulnerable people are normally present,” said SAF Director of Legal Operations Bill Sack. “And even then, in the remaining social wastelands leftover which the court grudgingly allows, one may only carry a firearm for self-defense if they have first secured the subjective endorsement of at least four ‘reputable’ persons. This treatment would not be tolerated in the context of any other constitutional right, and it should not be so here.” Read more

Boone and Crockett Club Research Identifies Dark Figure and Conservation Cost of Poaching in the U.S.

Media contact: Jodi Stemler, 703-915-1386, jstemler@boone-crockett.org

Missoula, Mont. –—At a press conference held in Washington, DC, today, the Boone and Crockett Club announced the findings of the most comprehensive research project on poaching in this country. Using a Bayesian statistical framework, the Poach and Pay research determined that only about 4% of poaching incidents are detected. Setting a conservative estimate of what criminologists refer to as the “Dark Figure” of crimes that are undetected or unreported at 95%, the research found that the minimum conservation cost of poaching through lost fines and replacement costs for animals is $1.4 billion annually. The research also outlines the results of detailed interviews with stakeholders, typologies of poachers, barriers to prosecution of wildlife crime, and outlines specific actions that can be taken to reduce the amount of poaching in this country. The Boone and Crockett Club and partners will continue the Poach and Pay project to implement these actions with the goal of reducing the dark figure of poaching.

“We have long known that poaching is a major problem in the United States, but we didn’t truly understand the magnitude of the problem until this Poach and Pay research,” noted Boone and Crockett Club chief executive officer Tony A. Schoonen in his comments at the press conference. “With this defensible assessment of the Dark Figure, we can clearly describe the conservation cost of poaching and prove that poaching is not a victimless crime—not only do we lose individual wildlife, we are also losing a valuable public resource with a high cost.” Read more

SAF Files MSJ in Challenge to Caretaker Gun Ban

BELLEVUE, Wash. —— Attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) have filed a motion for summary judgment in its lawsuit challenging Illinois law that bans firearms in homes licensed to provide foster or day care.

The Foster Home and Day Care Home Rules and statutes in Illinois ban adults licensed to foster parent or provide day care in their own homes from keeping functional firearms for self-defense, even if they are otherwise allowed to possess them.

“Being a caretaker does not come at the expense of your fundamental rights,” said SAF Director of Legal Operations Bill Sack. “The constitutional analysis is no different here than for any other type of gun control. The burden is on the state to prove a historical tradition of similar regulation at the time of the Founding, and that tradition simply does not exist.” Read more
