I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

AN ACTUAL RHINO OWNER RESPONDS:
(I actually own 2...)
The early-production 5-inch Rhino (featuring a non-fiber-optic front sight and "meh" trigger) has no space under the grip for an RFID-chip.
My newer 2-inch Rhino (fiber-opitc up front, good trigger) has the pit in the frame for the RFID chip... BUT NOT CHIP.
THE PISTOL WAS SOLD TO ME WITHOUT THE CHIP.
There was no sign, beside the obvious location in the frame where it goes, that it was EVER in the weapon.
I don't know if this means the importer or the store I bought it from removed it, or Chiappa is separating them at the factory.
(I would post pictures... but that isn't an option.)
Hellboy, your pistol is ready.
