[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Anybody pick up a Chiappa Triple Barrel yet?

Posted: 3/6/2015 3:57:03 PM EDT

I'm curious about the quality. I have yet to see one in real life. A buddy had a Chiappa Rhino in .357 and it was a complete disaster, shit kept breaking, couldn't open the cylinder, trigger malfunctions, just a nightmare...

I like the bottom one with the full stock, the brass band where it separates makes it look kinda classy.

This is just full of

I saw Hickok45's review of it. Interesting gun but a bit too gimmicky for me.

That was my thought as well. Looks like it weighs a ton. Can't imagine it swings worth a hoot.

The 18.5" barrel version is slightly over eight pounds, not too bad.

But yeah, I'm worried about the "gimmicky" part based on the track record of their revolver!

Got them.in stock at work .
I was pleasantly surprised .

Workmanship is pretty nice , and they feel decent shouldered.

I was expecting a rough unwieldy turd , but its not worse and probably better than a lot of the 3.5" autos out there

Feels like a slightly heavy side by side

Worlds better than most 10ga O/Us and SxSs I have used

But it is a still a 3" 12ga that feels like a 3.5" or a 10ga

Lost me at Chiappa.

I have not been impressed with the function or performance of anything with that name on it,
