I have read about Charter Arm’s past checkered quality control issues and the false starts they have had with their patented rimless ammunition cylinders, but I am still intrigued with this offering. With all the inexpensive 9mm ammunition that is available and this stainless 6” barreled revolver available for less than $400.00, why should a guy not give it a spin? CP.

Cp I'm no guru but of the snub .38s Momma picked a charter and used regularly.Far as the 9 wheelgun get it and let us know if it's quality or you three it in a ditch.

Their actions are rough and DA trigger pulls heavy and gritty. If they were as cheap as a Taurus, they be a good deal but they cost as much as a S&W J, so why not just get the better gun. They are also vying with Sig for "The Most Stupid Variations of a Single Gun Award".

tru stories, their I was at the mensa meetin and them mensa peeps was showin there guns, 9 from the 10 mensa's spoken to the fabulus Carter pisstols. Many with brains of Einsine will picks the carter guns, that glockduffos says he had near a dosen of them.

I looked at a 4" adj sighted 44sp.

Really wanted to buy it, reputation scared me.


Something I just don't understand about these companies,
And I include Ruger in there.

You build a factory, buy machines, train and pay workers,
Buy raw materials, then turn them into a mediocre pistol for $400.
People buy that [bleep].

Just think what the $400 pistol cost to make.

If you invested $25 more, it could be much better.
And you could charge $435. Proudly.

I've had a few CA model 85's over the years and still have one that the wife keeps in her car. I've never had a bad one. I've had several of the "bulldog 44's" over the years and they are nice. I gave my BIL a 44 Special target model 4". He likes it a lot and it shoots well for him. I've got a stainless one that I keep in the truck just as a back up.
At some point I will have an XL in 45 Colt, they just seem like a good gun. I believe Dave had a Pitbull and gave it a positive report. Seems like his was a short barreled gun and the grips were taped to maybe make them a little bigger. That's good enough for me.

Sure it wasn't a Taurus? That's who makes 85's. Charters are Undercovers.

! never had the bad one,thar it is total testamony from an exspert! If the gun is boughted, then the happiness will be started, its the bests gun ford buyin and keepin in a drawer cause a many will say if it aint shot it works best.

You are right. Had a few brain farts lately.

On second thought, I believe I’ll just move on to something else.
