The Charter Arms Cyte .380 ACP revolver is engineered as a discreet, reliable defensive tool, embodying a design philosophy focused on practical utility and robust construction. KFF Defense recognizes the critical requirement for firearms that perform consistently under demanding conditions, and the Cyte platform aligns with this principle by providing a straightforward, dependable option for concealed carry.
Key Features
Caliber & Capacity
Chambered in .380 ACP, the Cyte offers a manageable recoil profile suitable for a compact platform, making it accessible for a wide range of users. Its 5-round cylinder capacity provides a practical defense payload in a minimalist package.
Design & Concealment
Featuring a 2-inch barrel, the Cyte’s compact dimensions are specifically optimized for deep concealment and comfortable carry. The low-profile design mitigates snag points, facilitating rapid deployment when critical situations arise.
Construction & Durability
The Cyte incorporates an aircraft-grade aluminum alloy frame, balancing strength with a reduced overall weight for enhanced carry comfort. The cylinder and barrel are precision-machined from stainless steel, ensuring structural integrity and consistent ballistic performance under sustained use. The lavender (LAV) finish is applied for durability and corrosion resistance.
Operational Simplicity
Operating as a double-action-only (DAO) revolver, the Cyte maintains a consistent trigger pull, eliminating the need for manual cocking and reducing potential snags. This design prioritizes operational simplicity and immediate readiness in a defensive scenario.
