The Ultimate Charter Arms Guide: Compact Power & Custom Fitment

Since 1964, Charter Arms has been a symbol of American-made reliability and innovation. Known for their lightweight frames and unique "Rimless Revolver" systems, these firearms require precision-molded leather to ensure both safety and comfort. At Pusat Holster, we offer specialized carry solutions for the entire Charter Arms family, from the classic Undercover to the modern Pitbull and Target series.

1. Understanding the Frame Differences

One of the most important aspects of choosing a Charter Arms holster is understanding the frame size. Unlike other manufacturers, Charter Arms uses specific frame geometries for different calibers:

• Small Frame: Primarily used for the Undercover (.38 Spcl) and Pathfinder (.22 LR/.22 Mag) series.

• Medium/Large Frame: Used for high-power models like the Bulldog (.44 Spcl), Mag Pug (.357 Mag), and the Pitbull series.

3. Specialized Series Spotlight

The Undercover & Undercoverette

The flagship of the brand. Our holsters for the 2" and 3" Undercover are designed for maximum concealment. We use deep-molding techniques to ensure the revolver sits low on the belt for a snag-free draw.

The Pitbull (Rimless Innovation)

The Pitbull is unique because it chambers semi-auto rounds without moon clips. This changes the cylinder dimensions slightly. Our Pitbull holsters are blocked on actual 9mm/.40/.45 frames to ensure the retention is perfect and the cylinder doesn't bind.

The Target Series: Pathfinder vs. Bulldog

It is crucial to distinguish between the two. While both the Target Pathfinder and Target Bulldog share a 4.2" barrel, the Bulldog has a significantly wider cylinder. At Pusat Holster, we use specific molds for each to ensure your holster isn't too tight (for the Bulldog) or too loose (for the Pathfinder).
