![]() In short, it's a great novel gun and a fun range toy even though it only has 2 inch barrel. I've sent it back to Charter once already and they beefed up the hammer spring but it only helped in SA mode. It light strikes every 5 to 10 rounds on harder CCI primed rounds but only 1-2 times a box with soft Federal primed rounds. A very slow process.Īlso mine doesn't like certain primers. If it skips extracting a round you're stuck prying it out with your fingernails. It's almost as pretty as most S&W's to boot.īut the same rimless retention/ejection system doesn't always work. And it's surprisingly accurate for a little snubby. It also has a sweet trigger nicer than most smiths I've owned. 38 sp (just my personal preference) and the retention and ejection system is the only one of its kind (the Korth Sky Marshal has a similar system but that's a $1k plus gun). I like the fact that it shoots 9mm instead of. I own a pitbull and it's one of the most unique and controversial guns I have. It has a beautiful, rich deep blue finish, and always draws favorable comments from shooters at the range.Ĭharter Arms 9mm revolver 'Pit Bull' Its been several years now, and they are starting to become available, but are still in limited supply. ![]() I really wanted the Charter when they were announced, but they were very hard to find. I havent dealt with my problem Taurus yet, my problem Charter was handled quickly, at their expense and returned, corrected. Of the 7, I have had one issue with each companies product. That is my hands on opinion, unscientific, of course. They are in Connecticut, and source parts within a 50 mile radius from the factory in Shelton. I would think either system would be very easy to master with a bit of usage, and after a few range sessions, become very familiar.Ĭharter Arms indeed builds these guns in America. I dont have any hands on experience, but have read everything I can find, and there doesnt seem to be any issues, other than loading takes a bit of a push to seat the cartridges completely into the cylinder. The system Charter employs is novel, and works well. Moon clips are a simple way to handle rimless ammo. ![]() The Pitbull 9mm is built on the same frame as the 44 Special, and the 357. They are solid revolvers, and I cant see how +p would cause any issues. The 905 is a stout little revolver, I doubt it would ever be an issue. I emailed Taurus shortly after I got my 905, and was told it was ok, on a limited basis. The cylinder is slightly larger, but the frame is identical in size to the J frame, and SP101Īnyone looking for a reasonably priced snub nosed revolver, that shoots the lowest cost centerfire ammo, would be very well served by the Charter Arms PitBull 9mm revolver. I like that the 6 shot capacity is unique in a small revolver, and 6 shots are always better than 5, and it doesn't make the revolver any bigger than the small frame 5 shot revolvers currently available. If I didnt have my Taurus 9mm revolver, I would be all over the Charter. I would recommend a Charter revolver to anyone, as they certainly function as well as the more expensive brands, and are very accurate. The trigger is very good, and cylinder lockup is excellent. My experience with recent Charter products has been excellent. But the things that matter, are very good. You will see a tool mark or two, and maybe a sharp edge. Well made, solid, but certainly not a museum piece. I fondled one about 2 weeks ago, and its typical Charter Arms. The Charter 9mm revolver is finally starting to show up in gun shops now, and I think its a great revolver. Im very happy with the Taurus, but the 6 shot Charter would have been better, IMO. ![]() They simply were not available anywhere, so I gave up, and bought a Taurus 905, a moon clip 9mm revolver. When the Charter was announced, it seems ideal. I wanted a 9mm revolver several years ago. Plus, 9mm ammo is very common, anywhere in the world. It offers cheap practice for someone who doesnt reload, and offers good power levels between. I think the idea of a 9mm revolver is a good one.
