Description:
This listing is for the exact revolver in the photos. Here is Charter’s On Duty pocket size revolver in .38 Special caliber. It is the counterpart to arch competitor Smith & Wesson’s Bodyguard series revolvers. Manufacturer and warrantor is Charter Arms of Shelton, CT. Factory variant number is 53820. Type is traditional double and single action true swingout revolver. Chambering is .38 Smith & Wesson Special caliber. Construction is steel barrel, cylinder assembly, hammer, trigger, and internal parts built into an alloy main frame and grip frame, with factory rubber combat finger groove grips. Barrel is one piece 2 inch, threaded into the frame, with eight groove right hand 18 3/4 rifling in a full lug shroud. Sights are solid rib integral ramp front with frame integral fixed notch rear. Cylinder is 5 shot, and the Charter accepts ammunition from a 36A size speedloader. Trigger is .300 serrated face. Matching serrated spur hammer is hood protected by the frame edges, but still able to fire single action. Charters generally pull double action in the 12 – 14 pound vicinity, and 4 pound area single action, with minimal felt creep. Ignition is floating firing pin, with transfer bar safety mechanism that prevents the hammer from contacting the pin unless the trigger is fully depressed. Weight empty is 14 ounces, center of gravity at the trigger. Finish is factory matte stainless barrel, cylinder assembly, and furniture; natural gray alloy grip frame, with black grips; and with coated alloy main and grip frame assemblies. Surface detractions are minimal, only faint cylinder rotation marking and carbon in its barrel and chambers. This revolver comes to us after brief civilian service with one of our last surviving World War II veterans. It has been fired fewer than 20 times since it left the factory in 2014. We did not clean it. It is in its factory hard shell case with protective papers, instruction manual, frame finish maintenance warning card, never executed factory registration card, window decal, and gun lock. Replacement pricing on competitor Smith & Wesson 638-3 is $497 on smith-wesson com, and this one is easier to operate. We’re offering the Charter On Duty Stainless.38 Special in the photos for only $ 359.00. Not transferable to civilian residents of California or Massachusetts.

Don't let your buddies use your account. Registered user must be the buyer, with his or her own money. Buying firearms and related items for other people can result in felony charges. Don't try, either, to circumvent any law; for example, a California civilian may not buy a high capacity magazine and have it shipped to his brother-in-law in Nevada. That is a felony.
