Charter Arms .38 Undercover.
Quality wise Charter Arms has had its ups and downs, and my sample was definitely from one of the "downs".
I had an "up" and still don't miss it, because it was a nasty f'k to shoot.
Regarding small frame snubbies...
Look at the bright side... You'll never shoot anyone on a whim. You'll pull the gun out and start to pull the trigger, but then stop when your brain kicks in to remind you how hard that little gun smacks your hand.
Had a scandium .357...OMG, most abusive handgun I've ever seen in my life! The shooter only comes out slightly better than the person being shot.
