Welcome everyone to the 132nd edition of ‘Hot Gat or Fudd Crap?’, one of our many series here on TFB. If you’re new to the series, this is where we look at the most obscure firearms that are actually for sale and ask the question – is this Gat a sweet deal or only has a Fudd appeal? Each week the TFB staff weighs in with their thoughts, but readers get the final say in the poll at the bottom of each article.

In our last edition, our poll showed that you, the readers, decided the custom SIG P220 was just a pile of fudd crap.

The Chiappa Rhino is like a standard revolver but action has been turned upside-down. This gives the Rhino a lower bore axis that’s the overall selling point for this design. Ironically, as the cylinder indicates love and hate, the design is both loved and hated for various reasons as well.

Overall, the Chiappa Rhino needs no help in the “overly tactical” looking design department. Taking it one step further with a comic book theme just seems a little over the top. Sure you have features like fiber optic adjustable sights and a rail for accessories, but for just over $2k, that’s a lot of money for a Harley Quinn Fanboy to spend.

So is this gun worth anywhere near the asking price? Or are Black Rose Firearms just unnecessarily customizing guns for every gun-toting comic book character? As always, I leave it up to you, the readers, to decide.

Vote Fudd

 

[StatlRed]

Ditto--fudd crap

 

[Cavman]

If I was shot with that, I'd ask that someone lie and say I was shot with a highpoint.

 

[KellyinAvon]

Not even Fudd crap, just crap.

 

[55fairlane]

I'd be ashamed/ embarrassed to have any association with that pistol.

Crap? No SCRAP yes

 

[Karl-just-Karl]

Fudd.

The gun itself is fine and I wouldn't mind shooting one. The window dressing makes it a turd to me. Kind of like a girl that might be a little homely, but her facial tats make me question her Hepatitis status.

 

[Expat]

Very elite.

 

[KG1]

Hot Fudd Crap.

 

[churchmouse]

What a wasted effort.

 

[cg21]

No different than any other gun from a movie? So basically if you like the movie you’d like the gun. (If you’re into collecting) wonder if the people saying fudd would feel the same about tombstone replicas? Or John wick? Insert any action movie but really this would be targeted to memorabilia collectors more so than firearm

 

[LarryC]

Piece of CRAP

 

[bcannon]

Definitely Fudd crap

 

[Leadeye]

While I can appreciate pearl or ivory in grips, those just don't do anything for me.

 

[BiscuitsandGravy]

Sometimes ugly is just, well, ugly. Pass here...

[Jaybird1980]

I wouldn't spend my money on it, but I imagine there are plenty of people who collect movie themed guns.

I have yet to fire a Rhino and would like to some day.

 

[hooky]

Fudd Crap, but I feel the same way about the overly ornate NRA lever guns floating around. I guess I'm not a collector, so it's just extra "stuff" to me.

 

[Expat]

I would buy one if I got to date the hot chick.

 

[KellyinAvon]

Elmer Fudd wouldn’t be caught dead with that abomination.
