There are plenty of snub-nose .38s out there, but not many with this much personality. The Charter Arms Lavender Lady takes the proven Off Duty platform, a 12 oz aluminum-frame five-shooter that Charter has been refining for decades, and gives it a lavender anodized frame set against brushed stainless. It looks sharp without giving up anything where it counts.
The big story here is the fully concealed hammer. Since there is no spur to catch on a jacket, waistband, or purse lining, the draw stays clean every time, and the double action only trigger keeps operation dead simple: point, press, repeat. At roughly 12 ounces unloaded, this revolver is light enough that you stop noticing it, which is exactly what you want in a gun you carry all day. The 2-inch barrel and rounded contours make it right at home in a pocket holster, and it fits most rigs cut for small-frame snubbies.
Charter builds these with a one-piece frame instead of a removable sideplate, which adds rigidity, and the three-point cylinder lockup keeps things tight shot after shot. The fixed ramp front and notch rear sights are simple and rugged, and the shrouded ejector rod adds another layer of snag resistance. Rubber grips take the edge off recoil in a gun this light, and the whole thing is made in the USA and backed by Charter Arms.
This one gets a lot of attention as a first carry revolver, and for good reason. There are no slides to rack, no magazines to seat, and no external controls to fumble. Load five rounds of .38 Special, close the cylinder, and it is ready when you need it. Whether it ends up riding in a purse, a pocket, or a nightstand, the Lavender Lady covers the fundamentals of a personal protection revolver and manages to look good doing it.
No, this model is built on Charter's Off Duty platform with a fully concealed hammer, so there is no spur sticking out to snag on clothing during the draw. That also means it runs double action only, so every shot is one long, consistent trigger pull. It is a setup a lot of folks prefer for pocket and purse carry.
It is one of the more popular picks for exactly that. The manual of arms could not be simpler: load five rounds, close the cylinder, and pull the trigger when needed. At around 12 ounces it is easy to carry all day, though like any lightweight snubbie, recoil is livelier than a full-size gun, so range practice with standard pressure .38 Special loads is the way to build comfort.
Charter Arms rates this platform for .38 Special +P loads. That said, +P out of a lightweight 2-inch snub adds noticeable recoil and does not gain as much velocity as it would from a longer barrel, so many owners carry +P and practice with standard pressure ammo. Either way, quality .38 Special defensive loads serve this revolver well.
In most cases, yes. Its dimensions are close to other small-frame 2-inch .38 snubbies, and owners commonly use pocket holsters and belt rigs cut for guns in the J-frame size class. The concealed hammer profile actually makes it easier to fit in soft pocket holsters since there is no spur to work around.
