Charter arms picture thread

I picked up my humble Undercover the other day. Pretty nice fit and finish -- not a "show gun" by any means, but I like it. For now I'm keeping the factory compact rubber grips that came on it, but someday I may "dress it up" with a set of Altamont wood grips.

Thats a great piece you have there ...
And a lifetime warranty.. by a company that will stand behind there product

Looks good. My accuracy standard for myself is to keep them all on a 6 inch steel plate at 10ish yards firing as fast as I can acquire the sights. Some days that is faster than others.

I almost never shoot at paper targets with my handguns anymore. When I get a new gun I shoot some groups from a rest to identify POI as compared to POA and get an idea of how well it groups. I may also shoot some paper if I'm working up a load for one of my revolvers. After that it's steel plates cause with a defensive weapon a hit is a hit and a miss is a miss. And in case I need to use it defensively I need to be practicing quick sight acquisition or instinctively point shooting. Not downing bullseye shooting, I just do that with rifles.

Steel frame?

Does anyone have a stainless Target Bulldog? I was thinking I might add one. The 3” Bulldog I have is an in-between size... the 4.2” Target model with adjustable sights seems like it would be a good field gun, or range plinker.

1984 - Off Duty Revolver - .38 Special - 5 shot - identical to Undercover, but with a cheaper finish - available in flat black or stainless steel and 2” barrel

This here is my first firearm from many moons ago...a very old and loved nickle plated Charter Undercover.


I believe that I bought it for $140. This was a well loved, old boot gun that my father had bought off of a retired police buddy of his. I traded it off and sadly, never once shot the thing. To this day it is the one firearm that I regret getting rid of. Not necessarily because of the functionality of it...but more so the history and the fact that it was my first firearm.

Typetwelve...nice holster also. Do you still have that?

Sadly...no, that was the carry holster the original owner had for it.

I have to write this one off to young foolishness...I REALLY wish I had kept that one. Now, I really appreciate firearms with history behind them, sadly, I didn't 20 years ago.

I've done the same thing time and again. We all live and learn...and regret.

This was posted on Facebook by the owner, not me. But, it is the first one I’ve seen so I thought I would share.

It is the new 6 shot .357 Mag Professional V. It has a XL frame, 3” barrel and fiber front sight. Looks handy! I imagine it is a Smith K frame size with a J frame grip size.

I took this photo for 5 star firearms. I inquired about a speed-loader to fit the CA Patriot 327 target model and they sent me two variants to try.

I've been happy with this model although they discontinued it years back. Glad I bought it when I did, been fun to shoot. It was my first 327 that had adjustable sights and decent barrel length.

I'd like that. Will the old school Bulldog grips fit, I wonder ?

Bigger. XL frame cylinder is 1.61 vs 1.45 with the large frame.

I am sure many people would love a seven shot 38 Special or a eight / nine shot 32.

I finally picked up this Pocket-Target 22. Seems to be a 1970 model. Has a bit of holster wear, but not much turn line on the cylinder and it is mechanically sound. I snugged up two of three screws, gave it some oil where needed, and test fired it this afternoon.

Whomever owned it before me sighted it in perfectly. What a mighty fine trigger it has, so easy to shoot well for a small frame 3" barreled revolver!
