Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Lavender Lady fire .38 Special +P ammunition?
Charter Arms rates the Lavender Lady for standard .38 Special loads. While some Charter Arms aluminum-frame revolvers can handle limited +P use, it is recommended to consult Charter Arms directly or stick to standard-pressure .38 Special ammunition to preserve the longevity of the lightweight aluminum frame and ensure safe operation.
How does the Lavender Lady compare to a steel-framed .38 revolver for recoil?
Because the Lavender Lady uses an aircraft-grade aluminum frame, it weighs significantly less than an equivalent steel-framed revolver — which means felt recoil can be slightly more pronounced with full-power loads. Many shooters find this very manageable, especially with standard-pressure ammunition. The trade-off is a much more comfortable all-day carry experience thanks to the reduced weight.
What holsters or carry options work best with the Charter Arms Lavender Lady?
The Lavender Lady's compact 2" barrel and small-frame profile make it compatible with a wide range of holsters designed for snub-nose .38 revolvers. Inside-the-waistband (IWB), pocket holsters, and purse-carry holsters are all popular options. Look for holsters specifically sized for Charter Arms Undercover or similar small-frame 5-shot snub-nose revolvers for the best fit.
