Charter Arms Boxer

Charters certainly know how to look all business. Its funny, I look at my 686+ snub nose which most would consider a fighting revolver, and i see a very mean yet elegant design. I look at the crude utilitarian lines of my Pitbull .45, and it just looks aggressive and dangerous.

Of course that has no bearing on how they shoot, but luckily both a great. I just really enjoy the honesty of what a Charter Arms gun brings aesthetically.
 
To me Charters are the HiPoints of the revolver world in the sense that they are inexpensive and not necessarily the best looking, but when you really need them they will do what they are built to do & that, my friends is to go bang. :)


Some differences in your analogy ..
Hi-Points -Big & Heavy for purpose
Charters - Small & Light for purpose

Now similarities in your analogy

Both are known for incredible customer service

Yup. They both serve the same basic purpose. Just different scenarios. Case and point. I've got a couple 45 HiPoints in the house for whenever the need arises for a close quarters situation and a 38 snubbie ( not a charter, but same purpose) to tuck in the waistband before heading out the door.

To sum it up they are both affordable defensive weapons; one is more meant to be carried, and the other is for more of a "around the home" piece.
 
My LGS supposedly had one of the Boxers on hand at the end of last month, but when I got there it was long gone.

Oh well. Walked out with $100 knife instead of a $400 gun.

I'm a thinking that a Charter of some flavor will be my 2021 gun purchase...if ammo makes its way back. Im between a Bulldog, Pitbull XL in .45 colt, and the mentioned Boxer. Im set up best for the .38 special Boxer, but I kinda wanna know if it have a polymer trigger guard or aluminum. No big deal. Just curious.
 
I had no idea this existed until I saw it in the shop the other day. I bought it, and it's lighter and more svelte than my M12. It gives up just a modicum of trigger smoothness over the classic old Smith, but not enough to hold me back. Haven't wrung it out yet.

If you are able to and don’t mind stick that revolver on scales ...Im thinking 15 oz .. just guessing
