Nice review. Good to see Charter Arms turning out some decent product nowadays. The Tiffany Blue Undercover kind of reminds me of those old High Standard Sentinel revolvers of years ago with their Dura-Tone colored aluminum frames (I think they came in gold, turquoise, and pink).

I use a Charter Undercover Southpaw as my EDC. Never had a single issue with it.

I think it's pretty cool that Charter Arms makes a 'mirror image' gun for left-handed folks. I think previously it was just too expensive to tool up for a 'limited' market, but with modern computer-aided design and machines I guess it's a lot easier these days. Out of curiosity what load do you shoot carry in it? I'm fond of Buffalo Bore's 158gr. LSWCHP that's designed for short-barrel guns; somehow they manage to get +P velocity out of a standard-pressure round.

OK, this is weird- the forum is showing my response as part of the quote and I cannot get it to not do it.

I load my own. 125 grain JHP over 4.8 grains of HP-38

Over the years I've owned about a dozen Charter Arms (.22's up thru 44's and a 9MM Federal Pit bull) and all were good shooters with very few if any issues. Did have one of the newer 22s that shot way high for these old eyes. Still and all it went bang every time and the holes were consistently in the same spot.

Regarding trigger pulls, I think the younger generation that did not grow up with revolvers expects an aweful lot out of a revolver. They want it to be instantly ready, yet safe at all times, and the cartridge to go boom when they pull the trigger.

Perhaps investing in a set of snap caps and cycling 50 times the Double Action mode for 30 days will build up the muscles in their hands.
