There's a reason the snub nose .357 has stuck around: it's simple, it's powerful, and it works every time you pull the trigger. The Charter Arms Mag Pug delivers all of that in a compact stainless package that weighs about 23 ounces. That's enough heft to soak up recoil better than the ultralight snubs, while staying easy to carry all day. The 2.2 inch barrel is ported from the factory, venting gas upward to cut muzzle flip, which you'll appreciate the first time you send full-power magnum loads downrange.
The Mag Pug rides on a solid one-piece stainless frame, and the cylinder locks up at three points instead of the usual two for a tighter, more consistent lockup. The ejector rod is shrouded by the barrel underlug, so it stays protected in a holster or a nightstand drawer. You get a traditional spurred hammer for double or single action shooting, fixed sights that won't snag or drift out of adjustment, and full-size rubber grips with finger grooves that give your hand something real to hold onto. A full hammer block safety system rounds out the design.
Because it's chambered in .357 Magnum, the Mag Pug also runs .38 Special, and that flexibility is a big part of its appeal. Load magnums for carry or home defense, then switch to soft-shooting .38s for practice sessions that don't beat up your hand or your wallet. Owners consistently report smooth handling and reliable function right out of the box.
Charter Arms has been building no-frills American-made revolvers for decades, and this one ships with a keyed trigger lock and a lockable storage case. At just over 7 inches long with a five-round cylinder, it's the kind of gun you buy once, feed occasionally, and trust for years. Simple, stout, and made in the USA.
Yes. Like any revolver chambered in .357 Magnum, the Mag Pug will safely fire .38 Special, including +P loads. Most owners practice with cheaper, softer-shooting .38s and load .357 Magnum for defensive use. It's one of the best perks of owning a magnum revolver.
The ports are small openings near the muzzle that vent gas upward as the round exits. That pushes the muzzle down and reduces flip, which makes full-power .357 loads noticeably more controllable in a short-barreled gun. Faster follow-up shots are the real payoff.
It is. At about 23 ounces with a 2.2 inch barrel and roughly 7.25 inches of overall length, it carries comfortably in a belt holster and conceals well under normal clothing. The weight is a nice middle ground too, light enough for all-day carry but heavy enough to keep magnum recoil manageable.
Yes. This model has a traditional spurred hammer, so you can thumb it back for a lighter, crisper single action trigger pull or just pull straight through in double action. Single action is handy for slower, more precise shots at the range.
