Having said that, I shot a Charter Arms Pink Lady DAO on steel last year and, despite its color, could do some impressive things downrange. Really, I wouldn’t have seen that coming. Ok, I understand the “listen to customers” part. I just don’t understand the fact that the pink and lavender frame colors are so popular. Ecker told me many customers own several models just because they like pink and lavender. The personal business model of Charter Arms is advantageous for the consumer, especially law enforcement officers. First, the company has a production level that emphasizes quality over quantity. Ecker reiterated this point, saying that they recognize the current trend in sales is just a spike and they are in business for the long haul. Second, the business model of Charter Arms includes responding to customer needs quickly and personally. Third-and this is the part that I just don’t get-they listen to their customers. I got a chance to interview Nick Ecker, Owner of Charter Arms, who told me that some of the material suppliers are so close, often their contact is face-to-face rather than over the computer or phone.
Even large handed shooters can get a consistent grip without having the little finger floating around on the bottom. Ok, so why did Lindsey shoot a few times, then swap the Charter Arms stocks out? Two words: Crimson Trace. In fact, when the green laser for this model comes out.Ĭharter Arms’ products are 100 percent USA made. Not only that, but all of their suppliers are within about an hour of their new Shelton, Conn. They were palm filling and soft enough to soak up the recoil of high performance cartridges. The stocks (grips) that came with this gun are among the best I have tested on any revolver. Charter Arms uses a three point lockup for the cylinder, and this gun had minimal pitch and yaw in the cylinder. The Undercover Lite 53870 was not exactly a custom revolver, but everything was crisp and cylinder lockup was excellent. I have tested Charter Arms Revolvers before. They have always had a good shooting “feel”, which is a product of their short hammer throw and lock time. I have one and the Charter Arms Undercover Lite is dramatically lighter. 38 Special revolvers on the market that can handle high pressure cartridges. Second, the handgun manufacturing techniques and materials are simply better. For example, there are dozens of sub 15-ounce. First, the +P cartridges of a few years ago cannot even remotely duplicate the performance of the ones available now. I can easily demonstrate this with a box of Hornady Critical Defense cartridges or the 130-grain Winchester PDX1 Defender cartridges used in this gun and a fresh mix of Vyse gelatin. Law enforcement officers used to choose revolvers because of their simplicity and the fact that they didn’t rely on fragile magazines for their reliability. Autos got better and lighter. Autos of similar proportions became slimmer, and professionals began adhering to the rule about using the same ammunition for backup.Ī few things changed the paradigm. Made of aircraft aluminum and stainless steel, this model has a non reflective finish and distinctive appearance. I found that a 12-ounce gun was light enough to place into a stretchy waist pack for a few miles of trail running. At the end of the test I had a smile on my face and a pile of expended brass.
I tested a Charter Arms Undercover Lite, a 5-shot, 12-ounce revolver capable of handling +P cartridges.
