Most compact .38 revolvers ask you to settle for five rounds. The Charter Arms Police Undercover doesn't. By building this one on the same stout frame as their well known .44 Special Bulldog, Charter fit a six-shot cylinder into a package that still carries like a classic snub nose. At 20 ounces with a 2.2 inch barrel and just over 7 inches overall, it hits that sweet spot where the gun is light enough to ride comfortably on your hip all day but has enough heft to keep .38 Special +P recoil manageable.
Charter Arms machines the frame as a single piece with no sideplates, which is part of why these American-made revolvers have a reputation for being tougher than their weight suggests. The barrel threads directly into that one-piece frame, the stainless finish shrugs off sweat and holster wear, and the finger-grooved rubber grip fills the hand better than the skinny wood panels found on older snubbies. The double action pull is smooth enough for fast defensive work, and the spurred hammer lets you cock it for a lighter single action break when you have time to aim.
The fixed front blade and rear groove are about as snag-free and foolproof as sighting systems get. There are no screws to loosen and nothing to knock out of adjustment, which is exactly what you want on a revolver meant to be drawn quickly and fired at practical distances. A hammer block safety keeps things secure until the trigger is deliberately pulled.
For concealed carry, nightstand duty, or a trail gun that will not weigh down a pack, the Police Undercover makes a strong case. Owners consistently praise how naturally it points, how mild it shoots for its size, and how well it groups at defensive ranges. Wheelgun reliability is the real draw here: pull the trigger and it goes bang, every time, with one more round on tap than the competition typically offers.
Yes, this model is rated for .38 Special +P loads. Because it is built on the larger Bulldog frame with a one-piece stainless construction, it soaks up +P recoil better than many lighter snub nose revolvers. Standard pressure .38 Special is still the easiest shooting choice for practice sessions.
The biggest difference is capacity. The standard Undercover holds five rounds, while the Police Undercover uses the beefier .44 Bulldog frame to fit a six-shot cylinder. That makes it slightly larger and a few ounces heavier, but you gain an extra round and a bit more recoil-taming weight.
It is a strong pick for carry. At 20 ounces with a 2.2 inch barrel and snag-free fixed sights, it conceals well in a belt holster and draws cleanly. The finger-grooved rubber grip gives you a secure hold without adding much printing under a shirt.
Yes. The Police Undercover has an exposed spurred hammer, so you can thumb it back for a lighter, crisper single action trigger pull when taking a deliberate shot. In a defensive situation, you can simply pull the trigger in double action mode for every shot.
