I am just curious with customer support from chiappa.

I was pretty angry with a dripping gun. I am not exaggerating. Gun left a puddle when I set it on the bench. Rotating the cylinder sent drops into my face. What the H.

I have a Rhino revolver as well.

Mine has worked well, although it has a rather heavy trigger for DA and is notably funky in its grip angle, so it doesn't get taken out nearly as often as the smiths or the colts.

I didn't find it to be as accurate as the better quality S&W or Colt products, but it was as good as my Rugers or run of the mill smiths.

Its definitely a bit heavy and "different"

The comments on the Mateba and the W-F were a gun that I have not seen for sale when I was flush enough to buy one, and now I don't see them (I have issues with buying off the web...)

No it was not dripping with oil which I got it back. The photos are gone because Fototime folded and I had all my forum photos there.

Shot it yesterday, everything worked well. Seems to me morale of the workers must be low for a gun to leave the bench dripping oil. Either that or, no more pride in workmanship.

Or maybe they did not want it to corrode in transit and storage.

I’d rather get it dripping in oil than having it rust in transit.

The guy working on it has no control over what a shipper does.

Wiping some oil off is no big deal.

But yes, getting cosmoline off is a PITA.
