The revolver printed low at 15 yards with the loads I tried, but I used Crimson Trace laser grips on the Undercover for the accuracy test, and they were just the ticket. The gun is a handful with +P ammo, which is what you'd expect from a short-barreled, lightweight gun. The Undercover (top, fitted with aftermarket Crimson Trace grips) is similar in size to the S&W Model 49. The rod is relatively thin, and slapping it sharply to punch out cases is uncomfortable. The best way to initiate a reload is to vigorously shake the revolver while depressing the rod with the support hand thumb. The Undercover displays this trait, and the hull nearest the frame consistently hangs up and takes work to eject. Revolvers with two-inch barrels have ejector rods with limited travel, and typically they don't eject spent cases efficiently extra effort is required to jettison them. This setup makes for fast sight acquisition, and with its ergonomically designed memory grooved grips, the gun points naturally and is a good candidate for point shooting.
I understand clearly that this revolver is NOT on par with S&W or Ruger revolvers as overall quality goes, but the price seems right to me if I'm not mistaken.The non contrasting fixed sights are machined from its frame and barrel and consist of a broad. (I've noticed that the new ones have plastic trigger guards as well as have very gritty stiff trigger pulls). The gun is fairly tight (a bit tighter than the few new models I've handled at new-gun counters) and they cylinder locks up tight and the trigger is quite a bit lighter, smoother and crisper. It's in basically near new condition (probably 95%) with only a small scratch on the exposed blued aluminum back strap between the back of the grips and of course a very faint cylinder drag line from use. Does anyone have experience with the older model Charter Arms? If so, were there any problems experienced? This gun has a steel frame, aluminum trigger guard which extends down through the grip frame and also has the original smooth walnut grips with Charter Arms medallions embedded in them on both sides. 38spl with a 3" barrel for $140 out the door. I have the opportunity to pick up an older style blued Charter Arms Undercover.
