Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Running 9mm in a wheelgun usually means fumbling with moon clips, and that has kept plenty of folks away from the idea. The Charter Arms Pitbull solves the problem outright. A patented dual coil spring assembly built into the extractor grabs each rimless 9mm case at the chamber, holds it put while you shoot, and kicks the empties clear when you hit the ejector rod. Load it like any rimmed revolver, eject like any rimmed revolver, no clips to bend, lose, or keep track of. That alone makes this one of the more clever designs in the snub gun world.
The 5-shot cylinder and 2.2 inch barrel keep the overall package right around seven inches, so it rides well inside the waistband or as a backup to a 9mm pistol, and you get to feed both guns from the same ammo supply. That is a real convenience given how affordable and easy to find 9mm Luger is compared to traditional revolver cartridges. The double action/single action trigger gives you a straightforward pull for defensive work or the option to cock the hammer for a lighter, more deliberate shot. Fixed sights and full rubber grips round out a no-nonsense setup, and a transfer bar safety keeps things secure until the trigger is pulled all the way through.
Charter Arms treats the stainless steel frame, barrel, and cylinder with its proprietary Blacknitride process, which hardens the surface, cuts down on friction and wear, and resists scratches better than conventional finishes. It also looks sharper in person than photos tend to show. Like every Charter Arms revolver, the Pitbull is made in the USA, and owners consistently report the extractor system works just as advertised, holding rounds firmly and ejecting cleanly. If you have wanted revolver simplicity without giving up your favorite pistol cartridge, this is the gun that finally squares that circle.
No, and that is the whole point of this revolver. The Pitbull uses a patented dual coil spring assembly in the extractor that holds each rimless 9mm cartridge in place, then ejects the spent cases normally with the ejector rod. You load and unload it just like a traditional rimmed-cartridge revolver.
It is a popular pick for both. The 2.2 inch barrel, 5-shot cylinder, and roughly 7 inch overall length keep it compact enough to conceal comfortably, and running 9mm means it can share ammo with your primary pistol. The rubber grips also help soak up recoil for a snub-sized gun.
Blacknitride is Charter Arms' proprietary surface treatment applied over the stainless steel frame, barrel, and cylinder. It hardens the surface, reduces friction and wear, and resists scratches, which helps the gun hold up to daily carry. It also extends the life of the rifling and chambers compared to untreated steel.
Yes. The Pitbull has a standard exposed hammer with a double action/single action trigger, so you can fire it double action with a full trigger pull or cock the hammer manually for a lighter single action break. That flexibility is handy for both defensive practice and range time.
