Charter Arms

Awesome. I’m sure you will be very happy in the CA club! ( with the rest of us)

A pocket full of lead !!!!

SP101 Holsters work ... and Colt D frame !!!
This is a pic of my Boomer 44 spl ..

I’ve got 2. A custom Bulldog .44 that’s not much bigger than a J-frame and I bought my wife a Police Bulldog with a purple frame inscribed with Rosie on the barrel. Both are a breeze to carry and while recoil is stout, they’re accurate and shootable.

45 acp & 6 shot 357

Good luck (and I mean it). Shot mine apart with Remington loads some years ago. Too bad, it was a nice carry revolver.

Is it long gone? It might still be under warranty.

View attachment 961194 Bought this today, never had one before, but have read about them. It’s very light, good condition, hopefully will shoot well. I already reload 44 special for my Ruger, so it will fit right in.

New or used?

Two here, both old originals. 3" Bulldog carried with Lyman 429421 hollow points cast soft and a sensibly light (6.5) dose of Unique and an Undecover 38 with 148 grain hbwc and 2.7 grains of Bullseye. I like Charters but the actions are grittier than my Smiths.

I have an original first generation Charter Arms Undercover in .38 Special from back in the day when they were made in Stratford, Connecticut. It is a well made gun of the era and this was before Charter Arms had financial issues and quality control issues in the 1990s.



I'm not sure on the quality of the current production guns by MKS.

Looks just the like the one I had so many years ago. My first .38 Special snubnose revolver and it can be credited into getting me started in reloading as I loved trying out new loads in it! Had a Bianchi upside down shoulder holster for it (think it might have been their Model 9-R), and I was good to go!

Welcome to the cult!

Where'd you get those square butt grips ?

Few more of my Charters ... The 40 S&W Pitbull is my go to Also pictured is my Police Six 6 shot 38
Other is my older 357 Target ...
All are built on the Bulldog frame

Undercover .38 Special and Pathfinder .22 LR

How does the cylinder release work on a Charter? Push it forward like a Smith, or pull like a Colt?

The cylinder release is a push forward, like a S&W.

It's a great little gun. I had one in the 80s and it would bind when it got hot. I'm sure they fixed that, though.

Wasn't aware CA made a .41 Magnum chambered gun.... now I'm interested.

I like mine. The .45 Pitbull is bigger than the .44 Bulldog, but the ammo is easier to find yet it still fits in my jacket pocket.

I still want a boomer big time though

I think it’s safe to say there’s no charter arms “forum” but we all are here!! Might as well be the CA forum. And btw this group of guys are the best bunch of guys on the Internet!
