One of the videos on Youtube referenced a design issue with the center pin but did not elaborate. I am glad you went into detail. Thanks.
Actually nowhere near as larger, just a little bigger than their 5 round 16oz. revolvers. At 20oz. it's not heavy to carry all daily even in a pocket. It's a nice revolver...That is good to know. All the Charter Arms .38 two inch my local dealer carries are five round. I see it is also about 4 ounces lighter than the Armscor M206 and $120 more expensive.
I see that it is also built on the Bulldog frame. Kind of a low budget version of the Smith & Wesson 38/44 of yore.
Why not buy the Charter Arms Police Undercover?I wish I had a 6 shot snubnose, too. Back when I got my Taurus 85UL (5 shot) I should have put up the extra money for the Taurus 856. Too bad Taurus doesn't make the 856 anymore.

I know CA went through bad times and poor management for two Decades and several incarnations but the Ecker family has been back in control for years now and QC is back where it should be. I'm just sayin.

Most excellent!Not too hard to make that decision, I think. My quest it over.
I was just in Taos this past week, and even popped off some "old school" rounds with some friends in their favorite plinking area between there and Eagle Nest.
My preferred 6-shot snubby, and the one I used, is a 2" S&W pre-10 M&P. Worn, but still a workhorse after almost 60 years.View attachment 224666

That is what I would call a HAPPY ENDING!
Hopefully it will be another 40 years before that is required. (Only the good die young!)We're going to live happily ever after. I wanted something I can eventually take into the Old Folks Home and handle when I am less robust. Turned 65 last week and realize my Ruger Redhawk might become too much for me down the road. I will go into an "NRA Approved" Senior Care Facility. An armed Senior Citizen is a safer one.
This is interesting and I have not heard of this one. I have read many RIA revolver reviews before I bought mine, a M200, just checked mine and it is solid!The issue was that the center pin's lockup at the rear of the cylinder wasn't done into a milled recess in the frame. The M206 (at least the version that I bought some years back) used an insert nestled into the frame under the cylinder latch to position the center pin, and that insert was held into the frame by a thin piece of stamped steel held captive under the cylinder latch. The net result is that the only thing really holding the cylinder in place was that flat stamped piece of steel, and I found that I could move the cylinder more than 1/16" out of alignment with the forcing cone just by pushing on the right side of the cylinder.
That reminds me RIA made changes from M100s to M200s many years ago, the current production M200/206 is a new "generation". 1911 forum has a good review and mentions the change.the current production M206 should be GtG and my earlier comments should only be used to understand older production issues.
