Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Charter Arms Pink Lady fire .38 Special +P ammunition?
Charter Arms recommends consulting your owner's manual before using +P ammunition. While many Charter Arms .38 Special revolvers are rated for standard +P loads, sustained use of +P can accelerate wear on the lightweight aluminum frame over time. For self-defense, standard pressure .38 Special loads are highly effective and gentler on the firearm.
Is the Pink Lady suitable for everyday concealed carry?
Absolutely. At just 12 ounces with a 2-inch barrel, the Pink Lady is one of the lightest .38 Special revolvers available, making it an excellent choice for pocket carry, purse carry, or IWB holster use. Its snag-resistant profile and simple manual of arms — no external safety to disengage — make it particularly well-suited for fast, reliable access when it matters most.
How does the three-point cylinder lock improve reliability?
Charter Arms' patented three-point cylinder lock engages the cylinder at three separate contact points — the front, rear, and bottom — rather than the single locking point found on many revolvers. This design dramatically reduces cylinder wobble and play, which translates to improved accuracy, consistent timing, and long-term durability even after thousands of rounds.
