Charter Arms Undercover Lite Red/Black 38 Special Revolver - 5 Rounds, 2" Barrel, Polymer Grips, Stainless/Silver, 3-Dot Sights

I made this purchase to fill a hole in my firearm inventory. I wanted the smallest and lightest revolver for use as a trail gum while hiking and backpacking. My fear of bear and other wildlife is much less than my fear of the increasing number of wackos out in the woods. The Charter Arms Undercover Lite fits the bill perfectly. Even with two speed loaders it is lighter than my loaded Glock 26. Granted, it is a five shot in .38. Truth be told, I don’t intend on being in a long term shootout. If I can’t stop a trail incident with five shots, I doubt ten or 20 would help me. The gun itself is perfect in every way. Even the grip fits my relatively large hand, although barely. It fires exactly like you would expect a short barrel revolver to fire. I have the full spur because double action firing revolvers will never be as accurate as thumbing back the hammer. If I need to hit anything beyond 20 yards I’m hiding behind a tree or rock anyway, so I don’t need a long range pistol. Probably the only thing I can say to detract from the gun is that I can’t find any speed loader that works. The grip just slightly interferes with fully engaging the rounds in the loader. The tips of the rounds will partially go into the chamber but are slightly cocked. It could be challenging under pressure. A skinnier set of grips would likely solve the problem but right now, I like the grips as is. A good purchase and Bud’s made it easy. From payment through tracking, everything went perfectly. I would only recommend trying to use a preferred FFL.

I really like this little revolver carry it almost every day. Shoots great and would highly recommend it. Thanks Buds

Good gun for the money. It’s not a gun I would carry daily/bet my life on, but it is a good truck gun or bedside table gun. It shoots good and is fairly accurate, but the ergonomics are a little lacking. The red is a nice color and the finish has held up well

Very impressive, I will recommend.
