    Default Charter Arms Revolvers

    What do people think about Charter Arms? Do they have a good reputation for making quality guns or not? Just want to know what people think and especially if anyone has any personal experience with them.

    They are a great bargain. Sure they aren't up to the standards of a Colt or S&W, but they are a lot better than carrying nothing when your budget isn't up to the premium brands.

    My daughter has a Pink Lady and I have a Southpaw. Both have hundreds of rounds through it with no problem.
    I use it as a carry pistol from time to time.

    I had a 38 special revolver that was made by Charter Arms. It had a 2 inch barrel and was easy to conceal. MOST importantly it went BANG every time I pulled the trigger. I had no trouble with it. True it was a 'plain jane' gun but it was a good carry gun. For those of us on a limited income it is perfect.

    We get them in the shop from time to time. A little cheaper than the late model smiths we get but they look good and nobody ever complains. I chose my sw mod 36 over the newer charter piece we had but I collect the old smiths. They are solid for tbe price...

    They're good guns and good for the price.

    In the 1970's I owned a .44 Bulldog that was a great gun.
    To my regret, I sold it.

    I now own a stainless Bulldog that is less than a good gun.
    I have had to return it to the factory 3 times for repairs.
    This last time was strike three. I will no longer carry it.
    It does not stand up to use. If I carry a gun, I practice
    with it. This Bulldog can not take being fired much.
    It seems to be one of those guns that was designed to be
    carried a lot but fired little.

    I switched from a semi-auto that was giving me trouble to
    this revolver, hoping it would be trouble-free. It wasn't.
    So, I'll go back to a .45auto.

    Maybe you'll get lucky. I didn't.

    Their .327 Fed Mag is something I've had my eye on for awhile now and I'm glass to hear there aren't too many or too major a complaint. My Sccy was similar, it seemed to be 60-40 split on those who liked it versus those who said it'd blow up in the firer's hand, 500rds with no FTF, FTE AND it shoots any 9mm I give it.
