In the heart of New England's Gun Valley, where the art of gunmaking has been passed down through generations, a new tradition took shape in 1964. That year, Douglas McClennahan, a talented young gun designer with experience at esteemed companies like Colt, High Standard and Sturm Ruger, founded Charter Arms. Driven by a clear vision, McClennahan sought to create a handgun that combined exceptional quality and reliable performance with affordability. His dedication to craftsmanship and innovation quickly set Charter Arms apart, establishing the company as a trusted name in firearms that continues to offer dependable solutions at an accessible price.
