Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Charter Arms Chic Lady fire +P ammunition?
Charter Arms rates the Chic Lady for standard .38 Special loads. While some Charter Arms .38 Special revolvers are rated for limited +P use, it is strongly recommended to consult your owner's manual and Charter Arms directly before using +P ammunition, as sustained use of higher-pressure loads may accelerate wear on the lightweight aluminum frame.
Is the Chic Lady a good choice for concealed carry?
Yes — the Chic Lady is specifically designed with concealed carry in mind. Its 2" barrel, lightweight aluminum frame, and compact 5-shot cylinder make it easy to carry in a purse, holster, or IWB rig. The snag-friendly profile and simple fixed sights also make it fast to draw in defensive situations.
What kind of holster fits the Charter Arms Chic Lady?
The Chic Lady is compatible with holsters designed for small-frame 5-shot .38 Special revolvers with a 2" barrel. Many holsters made for the Charter Arms Undercover or similar J-frame-sized revolvers will fit well. Look for IWB, OWB, or purse-carry holsters specifically labeled for 2" small-frame revolvers for the best fit and retention.
