 Not sure if legit but it's interesting none the less.

Interesting indeed.
I ran some numbers and the chamber pressures seem to be within tolerances, at least for 10mm auto. Especially if the company can really increase the toughness of the cylinders, as they say on the website. 
The problem I have is the level of manufacturing standards. I dry-fired a Chiappa Rhino in a gunstore once and for half the chambers, it pulled smooth. For the second half, there were slight hitches throughout the trigger pull. But,,, some people love them and have no issues.
Will have to think on it.

Can't say the Rhino would ever be on a list of mine
I guess I'm just old fashion, but in my Eyes, they are Monster Ugly, look real unorthodox to hold and odd to shoot

FYI I emailed Rhino and they said they have no intention to make a 10MM and the modifications made to this pistol of course we know voids warranty but also stated they felt it was dangerous.

Anyone considering ANY Chiappa should check their record for customer service.

I'm skeptical...  I reamed my 6-1/2" barrel S&W 610 out to 10mm Mag.  Eighteen grains of 2400 under a 200gr bullet yields barely 1,200fps. 

How they're going to get 1,600fps out of a 6" barrel, I dunno...

It's interesting,  but I won't be a first-adpoter, especially at $1.5k.

I have owned several Rhinos they are accurate easy to shoot and easy to stay on Target with multiple shots.
The recoil does not translate to muzzle rise and this aids in staying on Target. Trigger is smooth and breaks clean and reset is short. Great carry gun I carry mine often.

If it's authentic, I sure like it 😊
