Chiappa Nebula
Chiappa Rhino series is the one that has developed the most innovative product in the field of revolver technology over the years. Unconventional in appearance and superior in performance, the Rhino revolver fires the shot in the lower part of the drum, rather than from above. This leads to substantially reduce the lifting of the muzzle and the recoil, which, thanks to the lowering of the barrel axis, is transferred into the palm of the shooter's hand. The aluminum structure and the barrel cover make the Rhino model very light to use and transport. For 2019, the company is offering a limited Neblua edition that uses a special PVD finish with blue laminate grips

Environmental changes set in motion by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita are hard to miss in hurricane-ravaged nature parks along the Louisiana coast. Katrina's powerful winds downed thousands of trees, and Rita's tidal surge forced salty seawater from the Gulf of Mexico into freshwater canals and bayous that wind through many parks.
