Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Charter Arms Undercover fire .38 Special +P ammunition?
Charter Arms rates the Undercover for standard .38 Special loads. While some variants tolerate occasional +P use, it is recommended to consult Charter Arms directly or refer to your specific model's owner's manual before regularly shooting +P ammunition, as sustained +P use may accelerate wear on the lightweight alloy frame.
Is the Charter Arms Undercover suitable for everyday concealed carry?
Absolutely. The Undercover's 2-inch barrel, compact cylinder, and lightweight frame make it one of the more comfortable revolvers to carry all day in a holster, pocket, or ankle rig. Its snag-resistant profile and simple manual of arms mean it can be drawn and fired quickly under stress — key qualities in a defensive carry firearm.
What holster options work best with the Charter Arms Undercover?
The Undercover is compatible with most J-frame-style holsters, as its dimensions are closely matched to the Smith & Wesson J-frame — one of the most popular snub-nose platforms in the world. This means a wide selection of inside-the-waistband (IWB), outside-the-waistband (OWB), pocket, and ankle holsters from major manufacturers will fit the Undercover well. Always verify fitment with the holster maker before purchasing.
