Charter made its name with the classic .38 Undercover. Today, Charter's family of .38 Specials has grown to meet the tastes and demands of a variety of shooters. At 16 oz., this five-shot .38 Special revolver is compact and lightweight. Its 2" barrel and superior safety features makes it ideal for concealed carry situations. It's a perfect compromise between size, weight and stopping power! Available as a traditional Double Action/Single Action with a standard grooved hammer, or a snag-free Double Action Only with no external hammer. The Undercover is also available in Black Nitride. Black nitride is a process that adds hardness to the finish of the revolver. It also reduces friction and wear. With a scratch-resistant surface and extended life in the rifling and chambers, Black nitride keeps your Charter handgun looking - and working - like new!
