RELATED STORY: Charter Arms Pathfinder.

During testing, I intentionally found some rounds that would provide sticky extraction, requiring a firm bump on the rod, but they came out as if they were rimmed cases. Having said this, the Pitbull’s ejector worked as well as it does with rimmed cases.

I would like to see just a bit more ejector stroke, since I do the ejection stroke with the muzzle vertical and I worried that sometimes a case might get hung up between the ejector and the frame. 45 Pitbull loads and ejects, and I can report it does just fine. When I picked the gun up at my dealer, the owner asked me to give him a report on how the. There is a bit more resistance in loading rounds into the chamber, but by pushing them straight in or slightly inward it’s minor. As the rounds are loaded into the cylinder, the bar snaps into the extractor groove of the cartridge and on ejection they simply slide out. The system works by using a spring-loaded plunger bar at the inside edge of each chamber. Revolvers are simple and require no training for handling malfunctions other than the practice of simply pulling the trigger again when the gun fails to fire due to a dud round. In my nearly 50 years of shooting pistols, I’ve only experienced a handful of malfunctions from revolvers, and have only had a few semi-autos that never malfunctioned when subjected to really high round counts. I also happen to be a major advocate for revolvers for concealed carry since they come as close to being totally reliable firearms as you can get.

I suppose it would be hard to say that I’m totally without prejudgment concerning Charter Arms, as I’ve never had a bad experience with its guns. I also use a Pathfinder for training, and a Bulldog sleeps in a lockbox beside the bed. It’s the darling of our CCH certification classes when we lay out guns for students to try after qualification. We bobbed the hammer to make it easier to extract from a purse and added a Crimson Trace Lasergrip. When I married my wife, Cherie, she got her concealed-carry permit and fell in love with a Charter Arms Pink Lady.
