What’s Included
- Crimson Trace Lasergrips for Charter Arms revolvers (installed)
The stainless steel 2.2-inch barrel is ported and paired with a heavy full underlug and ejector-rod shroud. This setup helps manage recoil and keeps the muzzle steady. The front sight is a serrated ramp integrated into the barrel, and the rear is an integral notch, giving a durable, snag-resistant sighting system.
The revolver uses a five-shot fluted cylinder and is chambered for .357 Magnum while also accepting .38 Special ammunition. Construction throughout is stainless steel with a uniform satin finish on the frame, cylinder, and receiver components.
Its double-action/single-action operation with an external spurred hammer provides flexibility for deliberate single-action shots or rapid double-action use. Safety features include a transfer-bar safety.
Controls are simple and familiar, with a left-side checkered cylinder-release latch and a one-piece frame design with no sideplate. The installed Crimson Trace Lasergrips add an integrated laser aiming option with a black rubber overmold grip for a secure, consistent hold.
