Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Charter Arms Pitbull 9mm require moon clips to feed or eject?
No — that's the defining feature of the Pitbull series. Charter Arms engineered a patented dual coil spring extractor assembly built directly into each chamber. This system grips the extractor groove on standard rimless 9mm cartridges, holding them securely during firing and allowing positive ejection of spent cases without any moon clips, half-moon clips, or special loading accessories.
What 9mm ammunition works best in the Pitbull revolver?
The Pitbull is compatible with standard pressure and +P 9mm Luger (9x19mm) ammunition. For personal defense, quality hollow-point loads from reputable manufacturers such as Federal HST, Speer Gold Dot, or Hornady Critical Defense are excellent choices. With the short 2.2" barrel, opt for loads specifically designed or tested for compact barrels to ensure reliable expansion and adequate velocity.
Is the Charter Arms Pitbull 9mm suitable for everyday concealed carry?
Absolutely. The Pitbull's compact 2.2" barrel, lightweight stainless frame, and snag-resistant profile make it a practical concealed carry revolver. Its simple double-action trigger mechanism offers an added layer of safety for everyday carry, and the matte stainless finish minimizes glare and resists the moisture and wear associated with daily use. A quality IWB or OWB holster designed for snub-nose revolvers will provide a comfortable and secure carry solution.
