JT, was a Chiappa Rhino ever on your test list?

in our gun shop. A gun writer friend told me he was never going to do an article on them because each gun had a small chip inside the frame so that supposedly if the gun was stolen the police could find it. He said if the police could find it, so could the gun grabbers. At first I thought this might be a rumor but one of the dealer magazines mentioned it that sales were lagging because of the chip and that the company was so concerned that the chips were coming out and so on. This was during Obama's reign.

Later on I again heard that the company was pulling the chip out, but because they did it in the first place was enough reason for me not to carry them in our gun shop.

And I guess to be fair I should mention that these comments were from 2 good friends of mine in the firearm business that I have known forever and have no reason to doubt them.But for the sake of less arguing, consider these comments a rumor. But i felt strong enough about them that I decided to never carry their products.
