Tomorrow I have some older guns arriving at the LGS which I recently got on Gunbroker. Reading up on one of them, a Charter Undercover with Stratford Barrel address, is one I haven’t ever really paid much attention to. I know that Charter Arms over Stratford indicates that it’s a first model, and the serial puts it late in the run of first models. While reading a bit about their construction I ran across a couple references of them being “strength challenged”. Is this something as simple as the gun not being rated for +p because it didn’t exist when the gun was made? Is there a design issue that is a known weak point? I keep hearing that first models and very recent production guns are good to go while the Charco and Charter 2000 guns are sub-par. Aside from a normal revolver checkup, what do I need to inspect on this one before I pop in a few low level 38s and break a dirt clod?
