... I was wondering if the internal hammer would be better on this piece ?
Actually the hammer is internal. What shows is just a means for cocking the internal hammer. I want one badly!!! Ignore the first part of this and just look at the second part: www.youtube.com/watch?v=85fRw-GhUnI&feature=youtube_gdata....TMan; I see an external hammer on this revolver and It seems as though Chiappa is redefining the revolver as we have always known it to be. So; By cocking hammer, on single action, the hammer does not serve the function of rotating the cylinder, from one round to the next, Right ? ..The Internal Hammers are enclosed within the frame and cocking the hammer is done in Double Action Only ( D.A.O. ). Some refers to these revolvers as "Hammerless", however, they do have internal hammers. Chiappa has apparently redesigned this concept; We never know what the future will hold in it's store. ......My Custom Shop Colt Detective Special, with it's bobbed hammer, is Double Action Only, where the other one with the Spurred Hammer is DA/SA. |

DA, the cocking lever cocks the hammer, which does rotate the cylinder.
I shot it today, but I used 38 Special vs 357 Magnum (still having shoulder problems). I only shot 44 rounds because I let Ed shoot it. The target was at 7 yards and I alternated between DA and SA. Looking at the target, I could see any difference. There wasn't anything outside the 9 ring.
I watched while Ed shot it and the barrel flip was barely perceptable. It is impressive.
Would I recommend it? I don't know? From what I've read, and I haven't disassembled it, it is complex inside.

That's definitely one well armed Rhino for sure. I think he's about to pull his own trigger.

Looks like he's giving her a Flu shot with his cannon. Maybe a injection of peenacilion to keep her healthy.

....These small revolvers are not for comfort shooting, mostly for carry defensive. The ammo capacity isn't very attractive for my taste either. I carried a 5 shot J-Frame S&W, 640, .357 magnum, until I ran into a possible life threaten situation early one morning,involving multiple threats. This was when I began carrying Sig Sauers, with the lightweight alloy frames.

Can you ever carry enough rounds for a multipul threat. I would rather carry a ten shot auto then a revolver for the speed if I had to. I am very fortunate to never having had to carry on a full time basis here in Canada. Life is different here and we find No need to carry. Our laws don't permit here it as well so even the bad guys very seldom carry. I am sorry to hear when good people are forced to carry for self protection. To me that's not a fun way to live.

I've only had one revolver, a used one, jam. I've had numerous pistols jam. I saw a guy on TV once demonstrate why he carried a revolver. He shot it through his jacket pocket and remarked: "try that with a semi-auto pistol".

I have had a jam with my semi auto pistols quite often but usually due to the ammo I am firing at the time. Never had a pistol ever jam yet on me. Not even my Black Powder pistol has done that as yet. I seem to only fire that in good weather it seems. Too much work to clean the gun afterwards.

....Yeah; The small revolvers makes for good coat pocket protection; Maybe this is the reason for The "New York" backup revolvers.

Looks like DR. Rhino is giving his patient a injection of Penasillon to keep her healthy.
