38 Specials has grown to meet the tastes and demands of a variety of shooters.Īt 16 oz., this five-shot. 38 Special features a 2” barrel, fixed sights and traditional spurred hammer.Ĭharter made its name with the classic. Constructed of tough aircraft-grade aluminum and steel, the Undercover Lite offers rugged reliability and comfort. Everything fits, including a spare tray cut from a box of. For the loading block, a Makerspot 5-round square milled aluminum block provides a nice match for the J2 speedloader at a price of about 1/3rd the 5 Star versions (which have a large, prominent logo milled/lasered on the face, which I don't like). If you get a 5 Star J2 speed loader, which is milled aluminum, unlike the plastic HKS speed loader, you'll find it works 'out of the box' with no problem - albeit at a cost of 3X the HKS. Like the HKS speed loader modification I had to perform for the Pathfinder, I also had to modify the HKS-36A speedloader to work with the wood grips on the Undercover. This keeps everything tidy on the range bench for me. It's nice to have speed loaders, a loading block and storage for hitting the range. I like the way this revolver handles, especially with the range ammo I'm using. Not too hard to keep on the sight picture. No cylinder stop to interfere with reloading or speed loaders (not really true, as you'll see)Ī Closer Look at the High-Polish Undercover No side plate (yep, all innards slide into or up into the frame) quality hand-finishing and fitment partsĪccording to Charter, other features include:ģ-point cylinder lock-up (whatever that means)Įrgonomic trigger does not pinch finger (this is true i *hated* the Ruger LCP)īarrel is threaded into frame (not pinned?)įull hammer block safety system (don't all revolvers have this nowadays?) polished surfaces (except for High Polish models) Note that most of the revolvers fall under four Franklins. However, my Charter, in highly polished stainless is:ħ3829 Undercover, Stainless, High-Polish $379 327 model, but couldn't pull the trigger on a model named 'Undercoverette.'

380ACP, and one of the later Smith & Wesson kit guns, the Model 317, version 3 - with the insipid internal lock which I removed and plugged up right away.Ĭharter offers multiple variants of the Undercover model in.


38 Special snubby from the 1950s, a Ruger SP101. I have a number of other revolvers, such as an early Smith & Wesson Safety Hammerless from the early 1900s, a Smith & Wesson.

22 magnum - that pistol is extremely accurate for a snubby and has run perfectly for more than 300 rounds so far a Charter Pitbull 9mm, which after a trip back to the mothership runs great and a nicely accurate Charter Pitbull. 38 Special in a high-polish stainless steel. This review is for a new addition to my pocket pistol stable - a Charter Arms Undercover. Tips, Tricks and Traps of the Charter Arms.
