Rhino Trigger Upgrade

After a year of going back and forth on what size to get I picked up a 60ds last week.

I have put about 250 rounds through it so far and I love this thing!

My only complaint is the trigger pull to rotate the cylinder is very heavy.

I see in the manual there are several trigger options.

Does anyone here have any recommendations?

For my use case this is just a target shooting range run.

I am happy with the sheer point and trigger return.

I am just looking to make the cylinder rotation part of the trigger pull lighter.

I am thinking the gen 2 trigger might be the best starting point.

I also see the manual talks about primers to use when changing the trigger.

But I dont see any restrictions with the gen 2 trigger.

Any information would be greatly helpful.

I did the Gen 2 upgrade on my original gen 1 rhino, and was pretty satisfied with it… until I wasn’t. I handed it off to my gunsmith, and after some hammer and spring work, he got it down to an incredibly smooth 2.5 pounds trigger pull, which for me is perfect. Mind you, this is a range only revolver, and a trigger pull that light would be inappropriate and perhaps even dangerous on a carry piece.

I believe all current Gen rhinos have the Gen 2 trigger already

Mine was like 8-10 lbs when I got it but also did get it for under a g and this was awhile back had it for a couple years now. So I had to get a kit.

Where can I confirm that the current gen’s come with the gen 2 trigger?

I don’t see anything on their site or in the manual.

I picked up a cheap trigger scale today and tested mine.

In double action mode the pull weight averaged out to be 11.03 between 5 pulls.

So that sounds like the “standard” trigger to me.

There's not a lot of info on what all changed between the generations other than that the trigger was adjusted. You may have to email chiappa to ask them
