Key Features
The Charter Arms Undercover Lite .38 Special revolver is engineered for discreet personal defense, prioritizing minimal weight and reliable operation. This model integrates an aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminum frame, significantly reducing overall mass for enhanced carry comfort without compromising structural integrity. Its compact, 2-inch barrel configuration facilitates deep concealment and rapid deployment in close-quarters scenarios.
Precision and Reliability
Chambered in .38 Special, the Undercover Lite delivers effective defensive capability within a compact footprint. The 5-shot cylinder capacity provides a practical balance for a primary or backup weapon. Charter Arms’ established design ensures consistent function, incorporating a robust transfer bar safety system that prevents accidental discharge unless the trigger is fully depressed. The fixed sight system is optimized for immediate target acquisition in defensive engagements.
Ergonomics and Finish
This iteration features a distinctive red anodized aluminum frame complemented by a blued stainless steel cylinder and barrel, providing both a durable finish and a clear visual identifier. The standard grip is designed to provide a secure hold, mitigating felt recoil from standard .38 Special ammunition while maintaining a low-profile for discreet carry.
