(GunReports.com) – Charter Arms has added the Off Duty .38 Special and Undercover Lite .38 Special models to its line of personal-defense revolvers.
Both models are available with high-polish-stainless-steel finishes with matte-black frames. They debuted at the National Association of Sporting Goods Wholesalers Annual Meeting and Expo in Louisville, Ky.
The five-shot 2-inch barrel of the Off Duty and Undercover Lite frame are made from 7075 aircraft-quality aluminum. Both models weigh 14 ounces, with serrated front and rear notched sights and come with combat rubber grip panels that can be changed out to a Crimson Trace Grip.
The Off Duty has an internal (DAO) double-action hammer, allowing the firearm to be shot repeatedly through the pocket without snagging, while the Undercover Lite model has an external standard hammer. Both of these new models are an ideal choice for any concealed carry situation.
