This Undercover reflects early Charter Arms production with its Bridgeport, Connecticut barrel address. The one-piece main frame without a sideplate is a hallmark of the design from this period, paired with an exposed, checkered hammer spur for double-action/single-action operation.
The revolver uses an all-steel construction with a blued finish across the barrel, frame, and cylinder. Its compact size, round-butt grip profile, and 2-inch barrel make it a straightforward, carry-friendly format. Smooth walnut grip panels with Charter Arms medallions provide a traditional look and feel.
Fixed sights include a serrated ramped front and a serrated top-strap groove rear. The top strap and front sight ramp are both serrated, and the ejector rod is unshrouded with a knurled tip. A transfer-bar safety is incorporated into the action.
Chambered in .38 Special with a five-shot fluted cylinder, this revolver is built on a steel frame and was manufactured in the United States. Additional identifying details include the serial number location on the right side of the frame (low/rear).
