This Pit Bull uses Charter Arms’ patented dual spring-loaded extractor pawls, allowing reliable extraction of rimless 9mm cartridges without moon clips. The system keeps reloads straightforward and reduces extra parts to carry.
The solid stainless-steel frame, cylinder, and barrel provide corrosion resistance and strength while keeping overall weight manageable for daily carry. A matte finish minimizes glare and helps conceal minor handling marks.
The 2.2-inch barrel retains a full under-lug that protects the ejector rod, and its integral ramped front sight aligns with a trench-style rear groove for a snag-free draw from concealment.
Charter’s transfer-bar safety prevents the hammer from contacting the firing pin unless the trigger is deliberately pulled, enhancing safe carry in either double-action or cocked single-action modes.
Made entirely in the USA since 1964, Charter Arms revolvers are known for straightforward maintenance and availability of factory support, making this compact 9mm a practical choice for shooters seeking revolver simplicity with semiautomatic ammunition economy.
