SAFETY FEATURES
This firearm is equipped with several safety features which, if properly employed, can minimize
the danger of accidental discharge.
WARNING : All traditional revolvers which feature a single action mode have
an outer hammer and therefore the single action mode is directly visible. The
Rhino revolver has an inner hammer which is activated by a lever connected
to the outer “false” hammer. The single action mode IS NOT VISIBLE BY
RHINO THROUGH THE EXTERNAL HAMMER, as the latter always goes back to
rest position. You will be aware of the single action mode through the red
flag jutting our from the frame and the trigger completely pulled back.
NOTE: Never rely on mechanical safeties to overcome improper maintenance or
unsafe handling practices.
NEVER ASSUME THE REVOLVER IS UNLOADED. You can never be sure a revolver is
unloaded unless you check that the cylinder is open and no cartridges are in place.
Trigger guard
The trigger guard is a loop of metal that surrounds the trigger, protecting it from damage or
accidental discharge.
Inner hammer
The traditional hammer, when the gun is in single action mode, may be accidentally activated.
This danger is eliminated by the Rhino revolver, as the external hammer is operating the inner
hammer through a cocking lever which, not being exposed, is not sensitive to accidental
activation when the revolver falls or is hit inadvertently.
Automatic trigger safety
The automatic inner safety avoids that the hammer may approach the firing pin before the
trigger has been pulled. By uncocked position the hammer cannot approach the firing pin.
This safety is disengaged only when the trigger is pulled to firing position.
Cylinder safety
Rhino features two cylinder safeties: one is working in case the cylinder is not perfectly closed,
and will hamper the revolver from firing. The second is activated in case the cylinder chamber is
not perfectly aligned with the barrel bore. In this case, the trigger cannot be pulled to firing
point.
