The Undercover series pairs a one-piece stainless steel frame with a five-shot fluted cylinder in a compact, 2-inch snub-nose configuration. The matte stainless finish on the frame and cylinder provides a uniform, low-glare appearance, while the left-side push-forward, textured cylinder latch offers familiar Charter Arms handling.
This revolver is customized with black rubber Crimson Trace Lasergrips that house an integrated red laser. The installation is clean and functional, bringing an added sighting option while maintaining the revolver’s slim profile.
Operation is DA/SA with a smooth-faced trigger and an exposed hammer featuring a checkered spur. Safety features include a transfer-bar safety that prevents the hammer from contacting the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled. Fixed sights consist of a serrated ramp front and a top-strap groove rear for a durable, snag-resistant setup.
Construction details include a full underlug and ejector rod shroud that protect the rod and add forward balance, plus a one-piece steel frame for rigidity. The barrel carries a Shelton, Connecticut rollmark, indicating modern Charter Arms production in the USA.
