The Charter Arms Charter Off Duty is engineered as a primary choice for concealed carry and backup weapon deployment. Its design prioritizes operational reliability and discreet integration into daily carry protocols, providing a robust yet unobtrusive personal defense solution.
Key Features
Optimized Carry Profile
The 2-inch barrel length is critically selected to minimize overall footprint, ensuring maximum concealment without compromising on a secure grip or rapid presentation. This compact form factor facilitates consistent, unobtrusive carry in a variety of appendix, strong-side, or ankle holster configurations, optimizing for discreet carry.
Lightweight Aluminum Construction
The frame is precision-machined from robust aircraft-grade aluminum. This material choice significantly reduces the overall carry weight, mitigating fatigue during extended carry durations while maintaining structural integrity required for sustained operation. The inherent corrosion resistance of the aluminum frame further enhances long-term reliability in diverse environments.
.38 Special Chambering
Chambered in .38 Special, this revolver provides a proven defensive cartridge suitable for its intended role. The caliber balances manageable recoil characteristics with effective terminal ballistics, a critical consideration in compact, lightweight platforms where control and engagement speed are paramount.
Reliable Double-Action Mechanism
Incorporating a robust double-action/single-action (DA/SA) trigger system, the Charter Off Duty offers consistent ignition and operational simplicity. This mechanism is known for its inherent reliability and simplified user interface, a non-negotiable attribute in a personal defense firearm where immediate and dependable function is crucial.
