No its not my everyday carry. I usually carry a snub .38 or .357 revolver of some type but not this one every day...some days, but not each day.
I do carry it some however. It fits in any S&W J-frame holster. I have a couple of Galco belt holsters I usually carry it in...or in a Wild Bill's horse hide pocket holster.

I also have a current Shelton, CT Off Duty .38 that I picked up from a guy on a local trading site. It only weighs 12 ounces and so far it has not given any problems. I wouldn't think twice about getting a current production model.

32 Magnum, you got a date idea for one with a serial number of 982xx?

MedWheeler,
Looks like 1967, probably around mid year.

Say Jim. I was at the same gun store yesterday, and noticed another 3" Charter on the rack. When I looked at it, it was in the same, I'm sure unfired condition as the one I just bought, and was within three digits of the same S/N.
My guess would be someone bought a pair (or more) of them new, put them up and never fired them. I might have tried to make a "twofer" deal if I'd seen both.

Good revolver.
Of all the Smith, Ruger, choices available in the Cabinet what did wife choose as her EDC?
Her Dad's Charter Arms undercover. In the 42K range of serial #s.
Been about 10 yrs now and even with ageing eyes she she can just plain run that gun.

Cajun,
Stranger things have happened. At the gun shop that I worked in a couple years ago, within one week we bought two S&W .38 Lemonsqueezers from two different people and they had consecutive serial numbers. Apparently the guys' fathers had bought them from the same local shop back in the '30s probably within a couple weeks of each other. One was a Lehigh Valley RR employee (they were required to own a firearm back then) and one was a courier for a local bank. The LVRR gun was mint, the bank gun was in v.good condition. Strange but true.

We are not reviving a 5 year old thread just to have arguments.
