Compact Power, Custom Carry: Finding the Perfect Leather Holster for Your Charter Arms Revolver
Charter Arms specializes in reliable, lightweight revolvers built for everyday concealed carry. Whether you trust the classic Undercover, the powerful Bulldog (in all available barrel lengths), the innovative Pit Bull, or the specialized Mag Pug and Target Bulldog, finding the right holster is essential for comfort and quick access.
This guide explores the best leather carry solutions—from IWB to Basket Weave OWB—designed to perfectly fit your Charter Arms model, ensuring your reliable revolver is always ready.
1. The Revolvers: Lightweight and Purpose-Built
Charter Arms revolvers are engineered for specific carry needs, which dictates the best holster choice:
-
The Classic Carry: Models like the Undercover (one of the lightest revolvers) and Mag Pug are ideal for discreet, deep concealment due to their compact frames and snub-nose designs.
-
Power and Size: The Bulldog series (including the standard Bulldog and the Target Bulldog) offers larger caliber options (.44 Special). These require sturdier OWB solutions, especially those with longer barrels.
-
Unique Functionality: The Pit Bull series, with its unique extractor system for rimless cartridges, demands precision-molded leather to ensure both perfect fit and easy draw.
2. Premium Holster Solutions for Every Charter Arms Model
At Pusat Holsters, our premium, custom-molded leather holsters honor the compact size and reliability of your Charter Arms revolver.
A. Deep Concealment and Everyday Carry (IWB)
-
IWB (Inside the Waistband): This is the natural fit for Charter Arms' philosophy. IWB maximizes stealth and is ideal for the Undercover and snub-nose versions of the Bulldog and Pit Bull, utilizing the tight frame profile for minimum printing.
-
Open Top: For IWB carry, an Open Top design is crucial, providing the fastest access to the hammer and grip without fumbling with a safety strap.
B. Versatility and Range Comfort (OWB)
-
OWB (Outside the Waistband): Recommended for the heavier Target Bulldog or those carrying a larger caliber model, OWB ensures comfort throughout the day and provides the stability needed for a smooth, consistent draw.
-
3-Slot Holster: A highly versatile OWB solution, the 3-Slot design is perfect for the standard Bulldog as it allows the user to adjust the cant (angle) for cross-draw comfort or standard vertical carry, using the same holster.
C. Durability and Professional Aesthetics
-
Basket Weave Style: Primarily offered as an OWB solution, the Basket Weave finish provides a classic, professional look. More than aesthetic, the stamping adds rigidity and resilience to the leather, ensuring the holster maintains its shape and retention characteristics for decades of use.
Conclusion: Choose Comfort and Quality
Whether your Charter Arms revolver is a compact Pit Bull for discreet personal defense or a Target Bulldog for the range, it deserves a holster that matches its dedication to purpose. By selecting a precision-molded leather holster, you choose uncompromising fit, comfort, and the enduring quality of a handmade product.
