Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Left-handed folks have been making do with right-handed revolvers forever, running the cylinder release with their trigger finger or swapping hands to reload. Charter Arms decided that was silly and built the Southpaw, a full mirror image of their Undercover Lite. The cylinder latch sits on the right side of the frame and the cylinder swings out to the right, so a lefty can hold the gun naturally and feed it fresh rounds with the support hand the way righties always could. It remains one of the only production revolvers on the market designed this way from the ground up, not a conversion or an afterthought.
The numbers here are friendly to anyone who carries all day. The one-piece frame is machined from aircraft-grade 7075 aluminum, keeping the whole package around 12 ounces unloaded, while the cylinder, barrel, and other hard-working parts are stainless steel where it counts. The 2 inch barrel and roughly 6.75 inch overall length tuck away easily in a pocket holster or on the belt, and the clear anodized finish over that aluminum gives it a clean silver look that pairs with the stainless bits. Five rounds of .38 Special ride in a cylinder secured by Charter's 3-point lock-up, and the gun rates for +P loads when you want a little more thump in your carry ammo.
This is a traditional double action/single action wheelgun with an exposed spurred hammer, so you can run it double action in a hurry or cock it for a lighter, crisper single action press at the range. Fixed sights mean nothing to snag or knock out of alignment, and the checkered black rubber grip soaks up recoil better than you would expect from a gun this light. Charter Arms builds these in the USA and backs them with a lifetime warranty, which says a lot for a company that has been making dedicated carry revolvers since the 1960s. For left-handed revolver fans, the Southpaw is the one that finally puts everything on the correct side.
The Southpaw is a complete mirror image of the Charter Arms Undercover Lite. The cylinder latch is on the right side of the frame and the cylinder swings out to the right, so a left-handed user can keep a proper firing grip while opening, ejecting, and reloading with the right hand. Mechanically it works just like any other double action revolver, only reversed.
Yes, this five-shot .38 Special is rated for +P loads, so you can carry hotter defensive ammo with confidence. Keep in mind that at 12 ounces, +P rounds have noticeably more snap than standard pressure loads. Many owners practice with standard .38 Special and carry +P.
It sure is. The 7075 aluminum frame keeps the unloaded weight right around 12 ounces, and the 2 inch barrel with a 6.75 inch overall length makes it one of the easier revolvers to pocket or carry in a small holster. Owners consistently mention how easy it is to forget it's even there.
It's a traditional DA/SA revolver with an exposed spurred hammer. You can fire it double action with a longer trigger pull, or thumb the hammer back for a lighter single action break, which is handy for slow, precise shooting at the range.
