CharterArms Undercover .38 SPC

[sandy4570]

I came across this revolver at local gunshop and asking price is $150. I could not find any information about this model (the Undercover 2000 has shround underneath the barrel -mind doesn't , the ejector hanging out like the old Colt Official Police) .I plan to shoot it with my own hand load (158 grain lead semi wad cutter , 7 grain of Unique ) .How durable this revolver compare to Taurus Model 85 and S&W Model 36 ?

Charter Arms Revolvers were never designed for a steady diet of +P ammunition. They are light weight good shooters and tend to stay together if loads are kept under 900 FPS. If your load does not exceed this and the gun is in good shape buy it. From your brief description it appears to be an older model manufactured by the Original Charter Arms Corporation (first generation) but if it is made by Charco (second generation) beware!
