The day I was sworn in onto the job, in 1987, I bought a then-new Undercover 38 revolver. It rode OD/BU with me for the next few years. It had the then-rare anodized-aluminum barrel/ejector shroud on it. It shot well and true, and still locks up nice and solid. Yes, I still have it.
Unknown to me at the time, my dad (with whom I was not in contact, having not seen him since I was very young) was also doing some time as a LEO, in a rural Colorado county. His OD/Jeep gun was also an Undercover that was made in the same year in which I was born (1966.) We re-established contact in around 1999, and the gun became mine when he died in 2010. It's a bit slicker than mine, having the slimmer and smoother stocks, and lacking the shroud. It shoots well, though.
A few years ago, I picked up a third Undercover I came across in a gun shop. This one dates from around 1985, and is stainless steel instead of blued. I hadn't known they made them in stainless back then. It has the checkered stocks my first one has, but no shroud. I carry this one now and then since it's more rust-resistant. It's also probably the tightest-lockup revolver I own.
I had in hand at a store once a six-shooting Undercoverette. I wish I'd brought it home.
Yeah, I like the older Charter Arms line...
