The Charter Arms Charter Pitbull in .45 ACP is purpose-built for reliable, discrete personal defense. This revolver integrates a compact form factor with the substantial terminal performance of the .45 ACP cartridge, engineered for consistent operation in a portable platform.
Key Features
Proprietary Rimless Extractor System
A hallmark of the Pitbull series, this unique extractor design allows for the consistent and positive ejection of rimless .45 ACP cartridges without requiring moon clips. This system optimizes reload efficiency and streamlines operational procedures, enhancing user experience in high-stress scenarios.
Construction and Durability
Constructed entirely from stainless steel, the frame, cylinder, and barrel provide exceptional corrosion resistance and structural integrity. This robust material selection ensures long-term reliability and consistent performance, even under sustained use and varying environmental conditions.
Ergonomics and Carry
The 2.5-inch barrel minimizes overall length, facilitating concealed carry and improving weapon maneuverability in confined spaces. Ergonomic rubber grips are integrated to mitigate felt recoil and provide a secure purchase, enhancing control and follow-up shot capability.
Operational Reliability
Utilizing a traditional double-action/single-action (DA/SA) mechanism, the Pitbull delivers a consistent trigger pull and reliable primer ignition. The design prioritizes functional simplicity and proven performance, making it a dependable choice for personal defense.
