Charter Arms Target Magnum 73566 .357 Mag 6in Stainless Revolver

Description

Most .357 revolvers these days come with snubby barrels built for the waistband, so it's refreshing to see Charter Arms stretch things out. The Target Magnum, model 73566, runs a full 6-inch barrel on their extra-large stainless frame, and that extra length does two big things: it gives the magnum load more velocity to work with, and it stretches the sight radius so your shots land where you want them. Whether you're punching paper at 25 yards or keeping one on the nightstand, this is the .357 built to be shot often, not just carried.

Sights That Earn the Target Name

The fixed front blade pairs with a fully adjustable rear sight, so you can dial in your zero for whatever load you're running. That matters more than people think with a .357, because a light .38 Special target load and a full-house magnum print to noticeably different points of impact. Being able to adjust for it instead of guessing at holdover is exactly what separates a target revolver from a duty gun.

Built Like a Charter Arms Should Be

The barrel, cylinder, and frame are all stainless steel with a matte finish that shrugs off handling wear and range grime, and the six-shot cylinder gives you one more round than most compact magnums in this class. The double action/single action trigger lets you run it fast or cock the standard exposed hammer for that light, crisp single action break when precision counts. American-made in Connecticut, and it carries Charter's lifetime warranty.

Shooting the Target Magnum .357

At roughly 13 inches overall, this revolver has enough heft out front to settle the muzzle and soak up recoil, while the full-size black rubber grip with finger grooves keeps magnum loads from beating up your hand. Feed it .38 Specials for cheap, easy practice sessions, then load up .357 Magnum when you want the real thing. It's a simple, no-nonsense wheelgun that does the classic six-shooter formula right.
