Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Charter Arms Undercover fire +P ammunition?

Charter Arms rates the Undercover for standard .38 Special loads. While some Charter Arms models support limited +P use, it is recommended to consult Charter Arms directly or refer to your owner's manual before regularly using +P ammunition, as sustained +P use may accelerate wear on the lightweight frame over time.

Is this revolver a good choice for a first-time concealed carry gun?

Yes — the Charter Arms Undercover is widely regarded as an excellent entry-level carry revolver. Its double-action trigger eliminates the need to manually cock the hammer before firing, its operation is intuitive, and there are no external safeties to manage under stress. Combined with its light weight and compact size, it's a straightforward and dependable option for new and experienced carriers alike.

What holsters fit the Charter Arms Undercover 2-inch revolver?

The Undercover's compact dimensions are compatible with a wide range of holsters designed for snub-nose revolvers with 2-inch barrels. Many holsters made for the Smith & Wesson J-Frame will also fit the Charter Arms Undercover due to similar sizing. IWB (inside-the-waistband) and pocket holsters are the most popular choices for concealed carry with this model.
