On another thread a poster wrote "Charter is currently producing the best guns ever to wear that name" Where do current Charter Arms revolvers stand in terms of quality compared to S&W and Ruger?
You sir, are about to be plagiarized. I'm stealing that line!. . . Coltwise not Smithwise. . .
OK, saw this gun but regretfully didn't handle it, and saw it at a shop 1000 miles from home .My problem is Charter Arms is they only make snubbies. I have and carry a snub nose revolver but they are not something I really desire. I would get far more use out of a full size revolver. I would love to have a Pit-Bull in 40S&W with a 3 to 4 inch barrel. Most of their stuff is 2.5 inches or shorter. They only offer two or three models with a longer that 2.5-inch barrels but not in cartridges that interest me.
Charter does offer revolvers with 3", 4.2", and 6" barrels. I am looking at the catalog as I type. That doesn't mean that they are easy to find, but they are listed in the catalog.

Charter uses 3 frame sizes ..small (j frame-ish) ,Bulldog (Colt D-ish) and XL (K frame-ish )
Actually I had asked Charter about 3" and 4" barrel revolvers just recently. They responded "We only carry one 3 inch barrel, its a 44 Bull Dog model number 34431. Now the 4.2 inch barrel - .44 Bull Dog model number 74442, .357 Mag Pug 73542, Undercover .38 6-shot model number 73860, Pathfinder .22 mag model number 72342, Pathfinder .22 LR model number 72242, Pit Bull .9mm model number 79942. Hope this helps"
