Most snub nose revolvers want rimmed cartridges like .38 Special, which means feeding them costs more per trigger pull than it should. The Charter Arms Pit Bull flips that script. It chambers standard 9mm Luger, the cheapest and easiest centerfire pistol round to find, and it does it without moon clips. A dual coil spring assembly built into the extractor grabs the case groove of each rimless cartridge, holds it in the chamber, and lets you kick spent brass out with the ejector rod just like any other revolver. Think of it as a built-in moon clip you never have to fumble with or bend.
The frame, barrel, and five-shot cylinder are stainless steel with a glass-beaded matte finish, so it shrugs off sweat and holster wear better than blued guns ever will. The 2.2 inch barrel keeps the whole package compact and easy to tuck away, while the full-size neoprene grip with finger grooves gives your hand something real to hold onto, which matters when you are pushing 9mm out of a 22 ounce gun. The spurred hammer gives you the choice of a quick double-action pull or cocking it for a lighter single-action break, and the fixed sights are simple, snag-free, and always where you left them.
Charter Arms has been building no-nonsense American revolvers in Connecticut since 1964, and the Pit Bull carries that same working-gun DNA. It pairs revolver simplicity with the ammo you probably already have stacked on your shelf, and if you run a 9mm semi-auto as your primary, this makes a natural companion piece since everything feeds from the same box. Recoil is manageable for newer wheelgun fans, ammo runs are painless, and there is no magazine spring or slide to worry about. For a nightstand gun, a trail companion, or a compact carry piece, this five-shot stainless snubbie earns its keep the old-fashioned way, by being simple and dependable.
No, and that is the whole point of this gun. A dual coil spring assembly in the extractor grips the case groove of each rimless 9mm round, holding it in the chamber and ejecting spent brass with the ejector rod. You load and unload it like any traditional revolver, no clips to bend, lose, or fiddle with.
There is a slight learning curve since spring tips sit at the mouth of each chamber. Press each round in with a gentle push and slight twist and it will click past the springs and seat fully. After a box or two of ammo it becomes second nature, and ejection is quick and clean.
You come out ahead on both counts. Out of a short barrel, 9mm typically delivers more muzzle energy than standard .38 Special, and it usually costs noticeably less per round. It is also easier to find on shelves, and if you already run a 9mm semi-auto, one ammo supply covers both guns.
It is a solid fit for that role. At 22 ounces with a 2.2 inch barrel, snag-free fixed sights, and a corrosion-resistant matte stainless finish, it holds up well to daily carry. The full neoprene grip soaks up recoil and gives larger hands a proper hold, which makes practice sessions a lot more pleasant than with many featherweight snubbies.
