I've been looking for a snub nose for this summer, but I don't really want to dish out the money for a S&W and a Ruger is a little too big in my mind. I'm going to have to look into this. Does anyone have any personal experience with Charter Arms?

I carried a Charter Arms Bulldog 44 spl for many years. Easy to conceal in a coat pocket or in jeans. Accurate and seemed well made. Not the finish of a Smith and Wesson but not the cost either. If you are looking for something to carry and not a range tool than these revolvers well do the job, but if you are going to send 1000s of rounds down the tube look else where

I've had a Charter Arms Undercover .38 snub nose for about 12 years. I put probably 200 rounds a year through it and it puts five nice holes in the same general area just like a snub nose should.

I have small hands and I like the fit of the Undercover. The newer models have rubber grips, but the ergonomics are the same. It's really a nice gun for the money. I'll probably sell mine when I find a Colt DS. I would like that sixth shot.

I just purchased a Charter Arms Pug, 357, hammer-less. I took it out to the range and after 10 rounds my hand hurt from recoil to the point I was glad it was over. I can shoot 38 spec. in it more comfortably.

I had a couple of Bulldog Pugs back in the 80's and they were great. The bbl shroud would come off of the S/S one, but we coated it with rd loctite and it never worked loose again.

I also had one of their snub .38's and it shot fine. But I only fired it a few times before selling it. It is still "in the family" and going strong last time I heard.

The CA were good, inexpensive guns. I hope the new ones are made as well.

i carried a CA 38 undercover as my back-up to my issue weapon for quite a few years. good reliable little revolver. i fired several hundred rounds through mine with no problems. if the new ones are like the older ones they should be OK.

[masterPsmith]

I've had a few of them through the years and they are great little guns for the price. Accuracy was good and very reliable. I have never had any that I sold through my shop come back for any type of repairs.

[UnderFire]

I saw the Undercover at a recent gun show for $319.
I was looking at them hard, because of the price.
Felt good in my hand, compact and lightweight.
I'm not needing another .38 revolver, but I'm
sort of regreting passing on it.

I presently have one Charter Arms undercover. My son is a small town cop and wanted something for backup. I did some research and decided on the Charter Arms .38. I let my son "borrow" it on the day I bought it so I have never fired it.
