I have one, the 6" version (it's the revolver in my picture). I also had the misconception that it reduces recoil - that is actually not the case. There is no free lunch. Rather, it redirects it. Instead of flipping up, it pushes straight back into your wrist. Since it is lighter too, it has actually quite a viscious kick compared to a heavier 357 gun (my only point of comparison is a 6" Ruger Blackhawk, but as a "standard" weight 357 revolver I assume others are similar feeling). But, it does not disturb the sight picture anywhere near as much. With good practice you can basically have the sight barely move. Very effective in that regard.Never had one. The idea of reducing recoil by their massive and innovative redesign is interesting. But I don't mind .357 recoil. And they don't make a .44mag, where recoil on smaller shorter lighter .44s is an issue for me. Enough so I stick to standard or larger .44 mags.
Indeed the frame is aluminum for light weight. The barrel/cylinder/rear plate are steel. By rear plate I mean there is a plate immediately behind the cylinder (breech face, I suppose) that the cartridge case is shoved into every time the gun is fired.Not sure what part of a Rhino is sintered "metal". I believe the frame is aluminum and the cylinder steel. Maybe the trigger parts would be "sintered" or MIM, but I doubt that has any impact on the strength of the frame or cylinder.
Fun gun, always draws interest at the range.
