Think about this: Regardless of size, cost, and bells and whistles, if you get lost in the woods the best knife in the world is the one you have with you when you need it.  The same applies to conceal-carry self-defense handguns.  If you have a big mucho macho super auto. or a fat high capacity or fancy revolver, but it’s too big or uncomfortable to carry (legal carry of course) you won’t carry it and won’t have it with you if you need it.  The designers of concealed body armor in the 1980s had it right when they said, “If its uncomfortable, they won’t wear it.”  The same applies to concealed-carry handguns

The handgun (semi-auto or revolver) must fit. Revolvers deliver the ability to be quickly drawn with a nearly perfect properly registered grasp (draw fast, hit the brakes and shoot effectively) without any other process complications and with maximum reliability and sufficient stopping power.

When combined with the other notes we’ve covered we hope you can see that the short-barreled self-defense revolver shines even in these days of what’s the newest. When it comes to close-in self-defense, we at Charter Arms manufacture the lightest, most-compact, most-reliable, safest, and most effective-reactive self-defense revolvers in the industry.  Charter Arms revolvers do the job they were designed to do and that’s all you can ask from any firearm.

Don’t Confuse Affordable With Cheap:  Charter revolvers are the most affordable high-quality handguns in the market. Period!  Now, if you equate affordable price to cheap or inferior please read on (especially number 13 below) and then go look at our revolvers and fire one.

Lightweight: The aluminum frame revolvers are made from tough 7075 aircraft aluminum alloy.  They are the lightest in the industry.

Compact:  They are, for their calibers, the most compact (easy to carry) revolvers in the market.

Machining:  Charter Arms revolvers are 100-percent U.S.A. made and are fully warranted—forever!  That’s right. Forever!  Oh yeah, in April of 2007 we moved into a larger factory too.

Hammer Travel/Lock Time:  Fastest in the industry for a revolver.

Fewer Parts: Through advanced engineering they have fewer parts (less opportunity for failure).

Safest Hammer Block System In Industry: It’s true. Did you know that Charter Arms invented the hammer block system (and concept) you see on all new firearms? Charter freely gave this valuable technology to the industry (and even Charter’s direct competitors) to keep all shooters safer with this new invention regardless of brand or design.
