Buyer’s Guide: How To Choose The Best Chiappa Guns In 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Chiappa sells revolvers, rifles, and oddballs. Here is how to sort them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why The Rhino Fires From The Bottom<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Rhino puts the barrel in line with the bottom chamber, so the bore sits at about the same height as the web of your hand. That drives recoil straight back instead of up. Our 10mm reviewer said it kept the gun flat, but it took a grip change to get used to it. We first tested the Rhino in 2014 in our Rhino revolver redux review<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nRhino Model Names<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The number in a Rhino name is the barrel length. A 30DS has a 3 inch barrel and a 60DS has a 6 inch barrel. The X models use a steel frame instead of the 7075-T6 alloy frame, which adds a lot of weight and soaks up recoil. Chiappa has also shown a .44 Magnum Rhino, covered in our Rhino 44 SHOT Show news<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMoon Clips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Rhinos chambered for rimless rounds like 10mm use moon clips. Our 60 DS came with three. Buy extras if you plan to shoot a lot, and practice loading them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What About The M6?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
We tested the Chiappa M6 survival gun with X-Caliber inserts in 2016 and came away disappointed. Our reviewer said it shot more like a proof of concept than a viable survival rifle, and the inserts were heavy. Read our Chiappa M6 review<\/a>, and see our best survival rifles<\/a> guide for better options.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPrice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Rhinos are expensive. In our reviews, the Rhino 30DS X listed at $1,539 in 2021 and the Rhino 60 DS 10mm at $1,360 in 2026. The Badgers and the Bushranger are much cheaper, from $475.99 for the Little Badger in 2018 to $499 for the Bushranger at its 2026 launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Best Chiappa Guns Ranked: 2026 Product Roundup<\/h2>\n\n\n\nChiappa Rhino 60 DS 10mm: Best Overall Chiappa Gun (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Chiappa Rhino 60 DS in 10mm is the best overall Chiappa gun because its bottom-barrel design tames a powerful cartridge, and it has a superb trigger. It has a 6 inch barrel with a 1:16 twist, a 7075-T6 alloy frame, a steel cylinder that holds six, hand-oiled walnut grips, and three moon clips. MSRP was $1,360 at the time of review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Chiappa Rhino 60 DS 10mm review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOur reviewer measured the trigger at 2.5 pounds single action and 8 pounds double action. At 25 yards from a rest, Blazer 180 grain FMJ printed a 1.42 inch group and Hornady 135 grain Monoflex printed 2.15 inches, while Underwood 200 grain hard cast opened to 5.59 inches. He needed to adjust his grip at first and called it expensive, strange, and seriously cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nChiappa Rhino 30DS X: Best Chiappa Revolver For Defense (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Chiappa Rhino 30DS X is the best Chiappa revolver for defense because its 3 inch barrel and steel frame make .357 Magnum easy to control. It holds six, has G-10 grips and adjustable fiber optic sights, and our review lists it at 45 ounces, compared with 23 ounces for the alloy-framed 30DS. MSRP was $1,539 at the time of review in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Chiappa Rhino 30DS X review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe single action trigger broke cleanly at 2 pounds, while the double action pull exceeded our reviewer’s gauge. He rang steel at 50 yards, shot sub-two-inch groups at 15 yards, and scored 95 on a 5x5x5x2 drill. Speer 125 grain Gold Dot was the hottest load at 1,263 fps from the short barrel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nChiappa Little Badger: Best Chiappa For Kids And Pests (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Chiappa Little Badger is the best Chiappa for kids and pests because it is a tiny single-shot that weighs under 3 pounds with almost no recoil. Our test gun was the 9mm Flobert rimfire shotgun version, with a wood stock and an external hammer that must be cocked by hand. MSRP was $475.99 at the time of review in 2018, and Century Arms was bundling 1,000 rounds of 9mm Flobert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read our full Chiappa Little Badger review<\/a> here.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOur reviewer found it close to hearing safe, ideal for youth training, and handy for pests at short range. He compared its pattern with 12 gauge #8 shot at 10 meters. He was honest that it is not for everyone. See our best survival rifles<\/a> guide for other light packable guns.<\/p>\n\n\n\nKey Specs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Chambering: 9mm Flobert (as tested)<\/li>\n
- Action: single shot, external hammer<\/li>\n
- Weight: under 3 lb<\/li>\n
- Recoil: nearly none<\/li>\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nChiappa 92 Wildlands Field: Best Chiappa Lever Gun (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Chiappa 92 Wildlands Field is the best Chiappa lever gun in our coverage because it updates the Model 1892 action for field use. It is chambered in .44 Remington Magnum, holds 8+1 in a tubular magazine, and has a 16.5 inch barrel with an overall length around 35 inches. It is made in Italy. MSRP was $1,255 at launch in 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our 92 Wildlands Field news<\/a> is news coverage only. We have not tested this rifle yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\nChiappa says the rifle refines a classic lever-action platform with practical updates while keeping the character of the 1892. Until we test one, treat this as a model to watch. See our best lever action rifles<\/a> guide for lever guns we have tested.<\/p>\n\n\n\nKey Specs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Caliber: .44 Rem. Magnum<\/li>\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nChiappa M1-22 Bushranger: Best Chiappa Rimfire Rifle (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Chiappa M1-22 Bushranger is the best Chiappa rimfire rifle in our coverage because it pairs a classic pistol-grip wood stock with modern mounting options. It is a .22 LR semi-auto that weighs 5.4 pounds, is just under 30 inches long, and comes with two 10-round detachable magazines. MSRP was $499 at its 2026 launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our Chiappa M1-22 Bushranger first look<\/a> is a first look based on product details, not a range review.<\/p>\n\n\n\nA full-length Picatinny rail on top and an M-LOK forend underneath make it easy to add optics and a bipod. We have not shot one for groups yet. See our best .22 LR rifles<\/a> guide for rimfires we have tested.<\/p>\n\n\n\nKey Specs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Caliber: .22 LR<\/li>\n

- Weight: 5.4 lb<\/li>\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nChiappa Big Badger: Best Chiappa Single-Shot Rifle (2026)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Chiappa Big Badger is the best Chiappa single-shot rifle in our coverage because it scales the folding Little Badger up to real hunting calibers. It is a break-action single-shot in .410 bore, .30-30 Win., or .350 Legend, with a 20 inch barrel, an M-LOK forend, and Picatinny rails top and bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our Chiappa Big Badger news<\/a> is news coverage only. We have not tested it yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIt weighs 5.5 pounds, or 5.3 for the .410, and is 35 inches long. That makes it a candidate for a truck or pack gun. We have not tested one, so check our best survival rifles<\/a> guide for tested options.<\/p>\n\n\n\nKey Specs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n\n- Calibers: .410, .30-30 Win., .350 Legend<\/li>\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFinal Thoughts On The Best Chiappa Guns Of 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The best Chiappa gun for most shooters is the Rhino 60 DS in 10mm. Its bottom-barrel design keeps a hot cartridge flat, and the single action trigger is excellent. The Rhino 30DS X is the defensive .357, the Little Badger is the kid and pest gun, and the 92 Wildlands Field, M1-22 Bushranger, and Big Badger are promising new models we have covered as news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buyer’s Guide: How To Choose The Best Chiappa Guns In 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Chiappa sells revolvers, rifles, and oddballs. Here is how to sort them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why The Rhino Fires From The Bottom<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Rhino puts the barrel in line with the bottom chamber, so the bore sits at about the same height as the web of your hand. That drives recoil straight back instead of up. Our 10mm reviewer said it kept the gun flat, but it took a grip change to get used to it. We first tested the Rhino in 2014 in our Rhino revolver redux review<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The X models use a steel frame instead of the 7075-T6 alloy frame, which adds a lot of weight and soaks up recoil. Chiappa has also shown a .44 Magnum Rhino, covered in our Rhino 44 SHOT Show news<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moon Clips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Rhinos chambered for rimless rounds like 10mm use moon clips. Our 60 DS came with three. Buy extras if you plan to shoot a lot, and practice loading them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What About The M6?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
We tested the Chiappa M6 survival gun with X-Caliber inserts in 2016 and came away disappointed.

Rhinos are expensive. In our reviews, the Rhino 30DS X listed at $1,539 in 2021 and the Rhino 60 DS 10mm at $1,360 in 2026. The Badgers and the Bushranger are much cheaper, from $475.99 for the Little Badger in 2018 to $499 for the Bushranger at its 2026 launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A full-length Picatinny rail on top and an M-LOK forend underneath make it easy to add optics and a bipod. We have not shot one for groups yet. See our best .22 LR rifles<\/a> guide for rimfires we have tested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chiappa Big Badger is the best Chiappa single-shot rifle in our coverage because it scales the folding Little Badger up to real hunting calibers. It is a break-action single-shot in .410 bore, .30-30 Win., or .350 Legend, with a 20 inch barrel, an M-LOK forend, and Picatinny rails top and bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFinal Thoughts On The Best Chiappa Guns Of 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The best Chiappa gun for most shooters is the Rhino 60 DS in 10mm. Its bottom-barrel design keeps a hot cartridge flat, and the single action trigger is excellent. The Rhino 30DS X is the defensive .357, the Little Badger is the kid and pest gun, and the 92 Wildlands Field, M1-22 Bushranger, and Big Badger are promising new models we have covered as news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
