Charter Arms Undercover Lite Santa Fe 38 Spl 2" 5rd Turquoise Revolver

The Charter Arms Undercover Lite Santa Fe weighs 12 oz empty, which puts it in the class of revolvers you stop noticing an hour into the day. The frame is aircraft grade aluminum paired with steel where the pressure lives, and the finish is turquoise over black, a long way from the usual gray snub nose. The barrel is 2", the cylinder holds five rounds of 38 Special, and the gun is rated for +P defensive loads. Sights are fixed front and rear, which is the correct answer on a revolver meant to be used at across the room distance rather than off a bench.

The action runs single action and double action, so you can cock the hammer for a deliberate shot or press straight through the double action stroke when there is no time for that. There is no safety lever to sweep and no slide to rack, which is a large part of why small revolvers still get handed to shooters who will not put in range time every month. The standard grip fills the hand well enough to keep a 12 oz gun manageable with stout ammunition, and the cylinder swings out so the loaded state of the gun is obvious at a glance. This unit is a Shooter's Model, meaning it is 100% new in the box but may carry a slight finish imperfection from the manufacturing process, typically hard to see except to a well trained eye or with a magnifier.
