I have an Undercover and it's one of my favorites. From my rotation it's carried the most often. It really is undercover when carried and not uncomfortable. Shoots really well. Reliable and I don't feel uncertain when I carry it. It has made me a fan of Charter Arms.
I bought a CA Police Undercover some time ago, cleaned it, and took it to the range to see what it could do. The trigger was gritty, and when I finished putting 50 rounds through it, my shooting hand was hurting. Took it to a gunsmith and he polished the innards and flushed out the filings that were generated during the manufacturing process. The gun is a pleasure to shoot now.
The Kimber is an excellent tool but disgustingly over priced for it's short barreled purpose. If one has the cash flow then more power to her or him. The average legally concealed revolver carrier would be better served with a Charter Arms, Taurus or something of that ilk. All that extra cash could be used for practice ammo.....Good Review BTW
I recently bought an Undercover, and can't adequately express how impressed I am with it. I intend to get a Police Undercover for my next gun. My first carry revolver was a Smith and Wesson 442, which I carried for something like 7 years till I'd worn it our, and even brand new, the Charter Arms trigger is astonishingly superior. The sights are much better than the 442 also. If there's any lowering in quality, I sure can't find it.
Part of our tax refund morphed into a Police Undercover, a birthday present from my wife. It is flat-out awesome!!!! It'll be hard to wait for my birthday to shoot it. Money I was saving up for ammo, if it ever gets on the shelf again, became a Bulldog grip. 😁
I collect S&W and Colt short barreled revolvers, but they are collector investments. Charter Arms are my working / EDC wheel guns. They are decently made for the money and work as intended. Rugers will get the job done too, but are heavy unless you go to the LCR. I carry both five and six shot CA variants. I like them. After this video I'm thinking about the rubber off duty grips on my Police Undercover. The as purchased grips are comfortable, but the smaller grip might reduce printing. Going to give it a try!
I like the feel of the Kimber revolver & the trigger pull on my Kimber K6S is really good. I think the K6S are about $200 overpriced. I think I paid $987 for mine… Once you pay it, you will be a happy owner in my experience. 🤠👮🏻♂️🇺🇸👍👋👻🍀😉. B9USA Sr.
I bought an Undercover last December and the stock trigger pull was far superior to any new J-frame. The trigger was so smooth, I ended up just bobbing the factory hammer rather than buying a DAO hammer because I didn’t want to risk affecting the pull weight.
Having just acquired a current production Undercover five-shot .38 snubbie in stainless steel, here’s my two cents: First, I also have a basis of comparison. I own both a S&W and a Taurus revolver. I used to own a Ruger but I sold it. I’ve only had my Undercover for a short while so I can’t speak to long term durability (though I have high expectations in this department; see below). My initial impressions follow. Cons - - Finish is not up to the standard of other major revolver manufacturers. Found tooling marks on the right side of the recoil shield behind the cylinder, and a bit on the left side of the barrel, that I doubt would appear on a Colt, S&W, Ruger, or Taurus. No impact on the functionality of the weapon but does not impress. - Trigger guard and grip frame are plastic. I know it saves weight and cost, doesn’t really affect the performance, and plastics are used extensively on many semiautomatic pistols. But aesthetically, I wish they had used aluminum. Still looks chintzy. - When ejecting spent shell casings, one always seems to get hung up on the top of the left rubber grip panel. This is a nuisance. I could probably address this by switching to some smaller grips, but that would probably negate the positives of these grips (see below). - Cylinder release mechanism is sticky. Requires some effort at times to get it open. Also a nuisance. Pros - - Barrel is very good. Nice muzzle crown provides a good gas seal, plus CA cuts more rifling grooves into their .38 snubbie barrels than other manufacturers. Helps with velocity and accuracy; gets the most out of whatever ammo you are running, for a .38 snubbie. - Sights are basic but effective. On my example, they were pretty much dead on from the factory. No need for “Kentucky windage”; point of aim is point of impact. - Trigger is very good. Double action is almost as good as my S&W and better than my Taurus. Single action is awesome, as good as or better than that of any other revolver I have fired. - Supplied rubber grips are very comfortable and soak up recoil nicely. Despite light overall weight of the gun (16 oz), the grips make even my Underwood 125 grain +P JHPs - among the most powerful commercially available .38 Special factory loads - perfectly manageable. Standard pressure .38 Special FMJ range ammo is a joy to shoot from this revolver. Overall, it’s a good value in terms of performance where it counts for the money. For anyone looking for a solid, easy to shoot, easy to carry .38 snubbie that may not be pretty, but goes when you pull the trigger and hits what you aim at, a CA revolver is a top choice. And still made in the USA! Final note re the cylinder crane: Some people complain that the crane is not as substantial as those on other revolvers, but they miss a key element of the CA design. The larger crane on other revolvers comprises the entire lower front portion of the frame beneath the barrel, forward of the cylinder. It is usually held in place by a single screw. The crane on a CA revolver locks into the frame structure, which is fixed. This is an inherently stronger design. Other durability features include a one-piece frame - no sideplate - where the internal workings are inserted through the bottom during production. Also, the barrel is threaded directly into the frame. Plastic trigger guard/grip frame notwithstanding, CA revolvers, overall, are built pretty tough. They may be a little rough around the edges appearance-wise, but they are not flimsy. They are made to last.
The grip is wide, but not too wide. The stock grip is thin but longer. This one works good for pocket carry. I bought it on the CA website. All their grips are interchangeable as they all use the same grip frame.
I also own a charter arms and the Kimber k6s. However, my Charter is the 5 shot undercover lite that weighs only 12 ounces. It’s a great gun. I really like it. It’s very accurate and I can shoot it well. The recoil doesn’t bother me even though the gun is so light. It feels great in my hand and I can really lock it in when shooting. And it’s so lite, that carrying it is a breeze. I do think that Charter arms is underrated and they really make great guns at a great price. That all being said, I also really love my k6s. In my opinion, you can just tell the quality workmanship and precision with which it was made. A few steps above the Charter. I also like the 3 dot sights that mine has, and the the trigger is better than the charter, though the charter is good. It is balanced very well and shoots like a dream. And finally, having that one more round over my Charter is a big plus in my book. So, I love them both and I carry the both at different times and different applications. Just my thoughts here. Thanks for your video, it was enjoyable.
for some reason charter arms puts big grips on their snubby's now, what i liked about them is that they were small, i have an old one that has the small wooden grips, it fits great in my pocket.
Thanks very much for the excellent review. Much appreciated. I just picked up a Smith & Wesson K Frame Model 12-2 Airweight that should be arriving in a few days and I'm anxious to see how its 19oz weight works out. Thanks again.
I have the Boxer version. Aside from shooting a bit low it's an impressive gun. It feels cheap and the trigger feels unrefined but it's a perfectly serviceable gun.
Great video and your detailed information was excellent! I subscribed! Would love for you to compare a true budget series next by comparing your 856 vs the Charter arms. I have Taurus revolvers and have always been hesitant to get a CA. If you had to pick one would it be the CA or the 856! Thanks again and keep the reviews coming!
When I get some time I'll do just that. Charter and Taurus both have a solid warranty and they both shoot great so I think it comes down to which one has the features you want most.
The SP101 might have been good to compare as well. All made in USA. I own a few Rugers, and will continue to, but not an SP. I have one Charter, a Professional in .32 Mag. After shooting it a bit, I can confidently say there will be at least one more Charter come to live with me when I can find one. I want to scale up the Professional to .357. I might have bought an SP101; even if I could actually find one I can't justify the difference in cost. Plus I frankly like the sight picture on the Charter much better than the fixed sight versions of the SP101.
I do have a SP101 3". I wanted to keep the comparison to 6 shot revolvers here. The Ruger is heavy but it would be my first choice for power magnum loads. For me, I prefer 38's for faster follow up shots.
Got 15 rounds out of my SP101 in 38s even, then on 16th the recessed hammer/pin moved to left so far wouldnt connect with primer. Very disappointed, still waiting on Ruger, been 15 days
Got an old SP101 357MAG and it's excellent and a revolver that is about the best with heavy 357 loads. Charter Arms is fine and also American made but it's not as good as an SP101. Still I would rate the Charter as worth the money and it's worth using.
In cold weather I carry a S&W mod 60 357mag with CT laser grips in my rotation. This would make a better comparison than the S&W model 10 as the model 60 is much closer in size and weight to the Charter Arms pistol. Mine weighs 20 ounces even with the CT laser grips. I cover the hammer on revolvers when drawing them from concealment so the hammer is not an issue
@@SuperSneakySteve if you check the charter arms website says the frame is aluminum. but I believe just the grip and trigger guard are aluminum. Any know know if this is correct?
@@adenvalento I know for sure the frame is steel. The grip frame is aluminum. You can replace it with steel if you ask them for the part. I have no problem with the aluminum.
What do you think of this vs the modern colt cobra? I watched a video saying colt cobra is easy to short stroke trigger. Thoughts overall vs colt cobra?
It always sucks to scratch an expensive gun but this is a carry gun so it's going to happen. At least with stainless you can easily work it out with a little sandpaper.
I just got one and ordered the old school wood grips. I must say the fit and finish is terrible, there are machining marks everywhere and the hammer has irregular sharp pieces on the sides of it. Not a big deal, maybe I can fix it. I still really like it, no regrets at all.
These are definitely not show pieces. They should be good reliable guns though. CA has great customer service if anything should go wrong. They do offer some polished models which I assume would have less tooling marks.
I have a 20 year old Charter 2000 Bulldog in .44 Special. I took it back to Charter Arms after the first range session revealed an out of spec crane and the gun would misfire on two chambers in DA mode. I live 20 minutes away from their Shelton, CT location and they fixed it in 30 minutes while I drank coffee and Nick Ecker gave me a short tour and let me examine and dry fire UC Lites from the test fire rack while I listened to "boom boom boom!" firing from the test fire tunnel as my gun was being repaired with a newly fitted crane. They test fired it 20-25 times and brought it out to me still warm. Nick handed it back to me smiling and saying that if it ever happens again, he'd replace the gun for free. I've put between 1,000-1,200 or so rounds through it since and use it for EDC and my nightstand gun 20 years later with full confidence.
@@SuperSneakySteve I'm considering a spurless 6 shot snub 38 special stainless. TAURUS 856 spurless or M206 spurless? I don't see any other options besides those 2.
@@adenvalento If you can afford it the K6S is the best, you can also consider the Colt Cobra. The Kimber you can load with 38's or .357s. I do own a Taurus 856 too.

I've been watching videos like this for information for many years. This is one is top notch information. I work in construction. I POCKET carry every day. I don't work in great areas. This guy does a fantastic review for people who really carry. Ounces are pounds when you carry and move, squat down, bend in awkward positions for hours. A couple of firearm's I can recommend that are reliable(for me) to carry daily that really work for true pocket carry: LCR Max. Kel Tec P32. Various Snubbies. Snubbies as this gentleman pointed can be cumbersome. You definitely need a boot grip. The slightly fatter grips are good because when you loose the pinky it's nice to fill that palm swell. For what I do professionally I even give up six rounds for five to get the comfort I need. I have had good luck with the LCR, J Frame, Taurus 856ULCH(yes this one I can consider 6 on how it carries a little more bulky but not bad). The reason this video is relevant to me is because I have a Charter Arms off duty light on layaway and I'm researching the brand for reliability. Taurus has been my go to working gun but the Charter offers the off duty in an amazingly small platform. More I research the more I like about these. They all have their idiosyncrasies but I'm going to try these guys. Any thoughts or input with the off duty light always appreciated. I carry standard pressure 38. Thanks for your great videos.
