Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Charter Arms Blue Diamond fire .38 Special +P ammunition?
Charter Arms designed the Undercover Lite series primarily for standard .38 Special loads. While some Charter Arms revolvers are rated for limited +P use, it is important to consult your owner's manual or contact Charter Arms directly before using +P ammunition in this model. For most self-defense applications, standard pressure .38 Special loads offer excellent performance and are gentler on the lightweight aluminum frame over time.
Is this revolver a good choice for concealed carry?
Yes — the Blue Diamond Undercover Lite was purpose-built for concealed carry. At approximately 12 oz with a 2" barrel and smooth snag-free profile, it disappears easily in an IWB holster, pocket holster, or purse carry setup. The 5-round .38 Special cylinder gives you meaningful defensive capacity while keeping the overall package small and manageable for all-day wear.
What is the difference between the Blue Diamond and a standard Charter Arms Undercover?
The Blue Diamond Undercover Lite sets itself apart with its distinctive blue anodized finish, which gives it a striking appearance compared to the standard matte or stainless options. Functionally, both share the same trusted Undercover platform, but the Lite designation indicates a lighter aluminum alloy frame for reduced carry weight. The Blue Diamond is an excellent choice for shooters who want a dependable defensive revolver with a bit of personal flair.
