Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Mag Pug also fire .38 Special ammunition?
Yes. Because the Mag Pug is chambered in .357 Magnum, it is fully compatible with .38 Special cartridges as well. This gives shooters the flexibility to practice with milder, more affordable .38 Special loads while still having the option to carry full-power .357 Magnum rounds for self-defense.
Is the ported barrel effective at reducing recoil on a lightweight revolver?
Yes — the ported barrel on the Mag Pug vents propellant gases upward upon firing, which noticeably reduces muzzle flip. This is especially beneficial when shooting full-power .357 Magnum loads, helping you get back on target more quickly for follow-up shots. It's one of the features that sets the Mag Pug apart from standard snub-nose revolvers.
Is this revolver suitable for concealed carry?
The Charter Arms Mag Pug is well-suited for concealed carry thanks to its compact 2.2-inch barrel, relatively light 23 oz. weight, and slim 5-shot cylinder. The full-size grips provide a secure shooting grip without adding excessive bulk. It pairs well with an IWB or OWB holster designed for compact revolvers of this frame size.
