The Bridgeport, Connecticut barrel address identifies this as production from the original Charter Arms Corp. era. Collectors and enthusiasts often look for this marking as a period reference point within the Undercover line.
The revolver uses a one-piece steel frame without a sideplate, assembled from the bottom, paired with a steel barrel and steel cylinder. A blued frame and barrel contrast with a bright polished-steel cylinder; the finish pairs well with the smooth walnut grips, which are inlaid with Charter Arms medallions.
It is a double-action/single-action design with an exposed hammer and a transfer-bar safety. The five-shot fluted cylinder swings out to the left and uses a star extractor for positive ejection. An unshrouded short ejector rod with a knurled tip provides straightforward operation.
Sighting is simple and durable: a serrated ramp front sight and an integral square-notch topstrap rear. The 2-inch barrel keeps the package compact while maintaining the classic snubnose profile.
Made in the USA, this Undercover brings together hallmark Charter Arms features in a compact .38 Special platform with fixed sights and traditional controls.
