Just saw this and i wanted to share my experience. I bought a dissembled Charter Arms 1979 Undercover .38 Spl +P in much the same shape it without rust or pitting in 2022 as a future backpack revolver and I have to say I was extremely impressed with their Customer Service. It was completely torn down and in pieces. I was missing the guide rod and all the springs. I called them up to see what it would cost to get the parts and explained what condition the firearm was in and what was missing. I also found a crack in the chamber between a cylinder wall so I also needed a Cylinder. The bluing was worn and otherwise in good shape. After I got done explaining yourself to the woman in customer service They sent me a prepaid label to send it in so I did. 11 days later I got a tracking number for the return and when I. Allied them to see what I owed them I was told that it had been talked care under warranty repair. Charter arms also reblued the entire revolver except the hammer. The DA pull was set at 9.2 lbs on the 38spl revolver and the SA pull is at a amazing 2.3 lbs and rivals a couple of my S&W’s. I cannot be any happier with a company. When I got it the work order was stated as reblue and hand fit and time a New .38 SPL +p cylinder and tune. Boy did they do a great job. For something that was going to be a backpack and glovebox revolver I have no issues with doing what I intended to do with it but it also fell into my summer EDC rotation. I now have a .357 and a .44 Spl and while giving up a hole with those purchases I gained a whole new perspective on a great company. $76 for deductions six dollars to have it shipped absolutely nothing to get a beautifully functioning fire in parts are. It’s like you said if the company is gonna stand behind the fire or you bought is a project fully expecting to have to put another hundred dollars or so Into off my complete support especially being manufactured in the United States
For some reason Charter Arms are almost impossible to obtain right now. I've been trying all the gun stores within an hour's drive. And Charter Arms has more than doubled their output.
I own three Police Bulldogs, two four inch barreled variants and a mint snubby like yours. Also have a new Police Undercover and just won a "Clyde" variant on Gunbroker. I enjoy the CA six shooters!
Dude clean that thing, it is yucky. Charter arms may not win any awards but they are reliable and tough. I have a southpaw that I purchased in 2018, it has an amazing trigger and is a nail driver. I picked up some g10 professional grips for them and the firearm is actually very appealing in addition to working great. I like it.
@@BLAKE_MAKES yeah there is one, they call it the police undercover (not to be confused with the regular undercover which is a usual 5 shot) instead of police bulldog
@Blake Makes my bad I thought I was replying to a different comment on another video where a guy was mad at sig saying it was trash because his p220 wasnt zeroed out of the box, but yeah the +p rating was in the faq section of their website if I remember right
I own that same revolver . Had it for over 30 yrs and still love it !

I have the Undercover/ w 3" barrel & Bulldog .44 Special w/3" barrel. Both great affordable guns!

I love the old classics. I've been carrying snubnose revolvers for almost 7 years now, and flat out love them.
Sounds like this is one that will protect you . It’s your grab gun…

1. You’re not my real dad
2. It is clean. It’s just in really rough shape. I really love the thing as well and I carry it frequently.
Boy I sure wish they would make a six shot now. Great vid sir.
i believe they still do. cant remember the model number but im pretty sure some version of this is still in production. (sorry for the late reply)

All charter arms 38s are +p rated they just don't recommend it because they didn't notice much velocity gains.
Have you seen this in writing somewhere?
I believe it’s on their website
Pre-zeros? +P is a rating for ammo that is loaded to a higher pressure than standard. charterfirearms.com/pages/faqs right there in their faq

No worries. All good.
