There are plenty of small-frame .38s out there, but not many look like this. The Charter Arms Chic Lady starts with the company's well-known Undercover Lite, then dresses it up with a red anodized aircraft-grade aluminum frame, a high-polished stainless barrel and cylinder, and glossy white pearlite grips. The result is a revolver that stands out at the range but still handles the serious job of personal protection without complaint.
At roughly 12 ounces and just 6.75 inches long, this is the kind of gun you can carry all day and forget it's there. The 2-inch barrel and rounded small-frame profile tuck neatly into a purse, an IWB holster, or a nightstand drawer. Fixed sights keep the sight picture simple and snag-free, and the traditional spurred hammer gives you the choice of a quick double-action pull or a lighter, more deliberate single-action shot when you have time to cock it. Charter's three-point cylinder lock-up keeps everything indexed tight, shot after shot.
Don't let the color fool you. Under the finish, this is the same aircraft-grade aluminum and steel construction Charter Arms has been building in the USA for decades, backed by their lifetime warranty. The .38 Special chambering means ammo is easy to find in everything from soft-shooting wadcutters for practice to modern defensive hollow points. Five rounds in a wheelgun this light is a sensible tradeoff, and the simplicity of a revolver means there are no magazines to load, no slide to rack, and nothing to overthink under stress.
The Chic Lady tends to find homes with folks who want a dependable carry revolver that reflects a little personality, and with new revolver owners who appreciate how straightforward a double-action wheelgun is to run. It also makes a memorable gift for a first-time gun owner. Either way, you get real Charter Arms reliability wrapped in a finish you won't see on every other gun at the counter.
It's built for exactly that. At around 12 ounces with a 2-inch barrel and a compact small-frame design, it carries comfortably in a holster or purse all day. The fixed sights and smooth profile also keep it from snagging on the draw.
Yes. The exposed spurred hammer lets you cock it manually for a lighter single-action trigger pull, or you can simply pull the trigger for double-action fire. That flexibility is handy for both range practice and defensive use.
Underneath the red anodized frame and pearl-style grips, this is Charter Arms' proven Undercover Lite platform. It uses aircraft-grade aluminum and steel construction with a three-point cylinder lock-up, so it's every bit as capable as its plainer siblings. The color is just a bonus.
Lightweight snub-nose revolvers do have more felt recoil than heavier guns, but standard pressure .38 Special loads are very manageable in this one. Many owners practice with light target loads or wadcutters and carry defensive ammo. A solid grip and some range time go a long way.
