About Charter Arms

Charter Arms was founded in 1964 by Douglas McClenahan, a former Colt and Sturm Ruger engineer who wanted to build an affordable, lightweight American-made revolver. The company found its niche with compact revolvers built on aluminum and steel frames that punched above their price point. Their California roster models are exclusively revolvers — the Undercover, Bulldog, Pathfinder, and their colorful Chic Lady series — spanning .38 Special, .44 Special, and .22 LR. Charter Arms remains one of the few manufacturers focused entirely on the revolver market.

Charter Arms currently has 26 handguns on the California roster. Browse all Charter Arms models →
