The neoprene grips are awful to look at, the revolver appears to have ears, while being most functional. I understand that Charter uses screws (as opposed to Ruger's massive forging) to cut costs. You can look down the muzzle of each gun or at the bottom area where barrel meets the frame and see this. It shoots POA, but my Charter Pathfinder is about two inches off at 12 yards. I asked for and received status info by email from one of the owners. The dealer sent it back and they replaced the crane and now the gun works perfectly. It could have occurred earlier, I just noticed it after 10 rounds. After 10 shots (never THROUGH the gun) with the Undercover the cylincer popped and wouldn't close. I carry a pre-lock Smith 60 three-incher but wanted a pure 38. I dislike the legalese on a barrel, the interior locks, and factory (or any kind) porting. 38 S&W Special +P Capacity: 5 Rounds Barrel Length: 2.125″ / 5.4 cm Front Sight: Black Blade Rear Sight: Fixed Grip: Synthetic Action: Single/Double Action Frame Size: Small – Shrouded Hammer Finish: Satin Stainless Overall Length: 6.56″ / 16.7 cm Material: Stainless Steel Frame Stainless Steel Cylinder Weight Empty: 23 oz / 652.Well I bought a Charter Undercover this summer and am currently very pleased with it. Originally named the Chiefs Special by the International Association of Chiefs of Police, it has become the first choice for those who insist on an all steel, small frame revolver with greater recoil control and proven performance. When the first all-steel small frame (J) revolver was introduced in 1950, it became an instant success. Smith & Wesson offers these revolvers from their production, M&P, Pro Series, and Classics lines in three diverse hammer designs internal, exposed and shrouded.
