A Charter is a good option for a carry snubbie, as long as you have one that works. I've carried a few autos but always come back to a 5 or 6 shot snubnose. Charters are reasonably priced and durable enough. Cool video!
I know Naval seals who carry a snubby wherever they go. It is not a war gun and never was , but to save you and get you away from danger it is still concealable and reliable. If you learn shooting on a revolver, you will be able to shoot any gun. The trigger control on a revolver is the hardest as you said, but once you master it all else comes easy a revolver makes you think about each shot because you only have five or six shots, when you have 10 they find people spray shoot and actually miss more shots than revolver shooters do . I am a criminal justice specialist and I carry a five shots snubby with an extra load on a speed strip and sometimes speed loader. Remember the idea of self-defense is to get away from the action, not go toward it like a police officer has to. That said you did a good job with the Charter arms and I enjoyed your presentation. I do own one and it shoots great because they have a solid body. They are a little stronger than most revolvers not weaker that’s why they could be lighter and still shoot the same heavy plus P loads. Well, thanks. I’m looking forward to your next presentation. Stay safe and carry Daily!
Inherited my ca 38 snub nose made in bridgeport con...from my dad on 6/24/01😊 Originally belonged to my great grandfather, and was his back up duty weapon. passed down from him to my papaw to my dad to me and will go to my son eventually! Still works like it was new outta the box! If im using it for just around the house and out in the yard, i keep 135gr+p sjhp or if i plan on being out in the woods were i may run into a black bear i keep it loaded with 158gr slswc.... I know there not rated for plus p rounds,but just a few to see how it fires them and a few more in a emergency situation i hope never comes will be no problem!! Thanks for the video!😊
Like charter arms pistols, especially the Stratford Conn made pistols, carried some when I was in law enforcement in the 80s for back up option in a ankle holster and a 22 lr or 25 acp in a spare handcuff case Still carry a 38 special undercover Stratford Conn made
That'll shoot out of time soon with that staged back plate (design flaw) & all those hardware store revolvers had a two piece frame just like that pinned together Charter. Like Iver Johnson, HR & Egal to name a few. Seriously doubt a bunch of screws for bosses & latch shims would be the result of working at Ruger. It's a lead shooter with 11 land/groove rifling to boot.
As a young man in the 70's with a family and house payment etc.. I could not afford the guns I wanted. I had a few but nothing for 'undercover' The charter arms was a very cheap revolver. tiny... did it compare to the J frame Smith? no it did not.. not in accuracy nor in quality. Let me explain. I could hit a 5 gallon bucket at 100 yards with a J frame. this was not even remotely possible with the tiny CA 38 but.... did I need 100 yard accuracy? eh... kinda sorta but not really. So I had more than a few CA revolvers both 38 and 44 spl Quality.... here is a tough one. They had really really really rough actions. and they fell apart. Gasp! 'fell apart'? relax CA fans... the cyl release latch would end up in the weeds. where..... it would keep company with the front sight which also would go into orbit (especially in the 44 Bulldog ones) Do you need a cyl release? kinda sorta but not really. they do not have an enclosed ejector rod soo... you can just pull on it to open the gun. Do they need a front sight? arguably with the accuracy they are capable of (in my hands) ? no.

Don’t carry the Charter but had a .44 Bulldog. Now carry the S&W Bodyguard .38. Revolvers make great CC guns!

You can’t pronounce the original owners last name and the second correction is the innovation that Charter Arms came up with was the “Transfer Bar.”
Iver Johnson used transfer bars safeties over a hundred years ago.
