Description

The Chic Lady takes Charter Arms' proven Undercover Lite and gives it a look you won't find anywhere else in the display case. The frame is machined from aircraft-grade 7075 aluminum and anodized in lavender, then paired with a high-polished stainless barrel and cylinder for a two-tone finish that stands out without feeling like a gimmick. Underneath the color it's the same dependable five-shot .38 Special snub that Charter has been building its reputation on for decades.

Why the Chic Lady Works for Everyday Carry

At just 12 ounces, this revolver disappears in a purse, a bag, or an inside-the-waistband holster. The 2 inch barrel and roughly 6.75 inch overall length keep the whole package compact, while the double action/single action trigger gives you options. Pull straight through for quick defensive work, or thumb back the traditional spurred hammer for a deliberate, lighter single action shot. Charter's three-point cylinder lock-up keeps everything indexed tight, and the simple fixed front sight means there is nothing to knock out of adjustment.

Crimson Trace Laser Grip, Installed From the Factory

What sets this particular model apart from other Chic Lady variants is the black Crimson Trace laser grip that comes installed right out of the box. A natural firing grip activates the red laser, putting a bright aiming point on target without changing how you hold the gun. For a defensive revolver with a short sight radius, that is a genuinely useful upgrade, especially in low light where iron sights are hard to pick up.

A .38 Special Snub Nose With Personality

Ammo is easy here too. .38 Special is one of the most widely available defensive calibers around, with plenty of soft-shooting practice loads and proven carry ammunition to choose from. Charter ships the Chic Lady with a color-coordinated carry case, a nice touch that matches the character of the gun. If you want a lightweight wheelgun that runs simple, carries easy, and shows a little style doing it, this one earns a hard look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Charter Arms Chic Lady come with the laser already installed?

Yes, this model (53842) ships with a black Crimson Trace laser grip installed from the factory. The red laser activates with a natural firing grip, so there are no extra buttons to hunt for when it matters. It is a big help in low light where a short-barreled revolver's fixed sights can be tough to see.

How heavy is the Chic Lady, and is it comfortable to carry all day?

It weighs right around 12 ounces unloaded thanks to the 7075 aircraft-grade aluminum frame. That puts it among the lightest .38 Special revolvers out there, and combined with the 2 inch barrel and compact frame, it carries easily in a holster or bag. Most folks who carry one forget it's there.

Is the Chic Lady double action only, or can I cock the hammer?

It is a true double action/single action revolver with a traditional spurred hammer. You can fire it double action with a straight trigger pull, or cock the hammer manually for a lighter, crisper single action break. That flexibility makes it friendlier at the range than hammerless snubs.

Is .38 Special enough for self-defense from a 2 inch barrel?

It has been a trusted defensive caliber for over a century, and modern short-barrel defensive loads are built specifically to perform out of snub-nose revolvers. The five-shot cylinder keeps the gun slim while still giving you proven stopping power. Ammo is also widely available and affordable, which makes regular practice easy.
