 I believe I have now have answers for both.
I started off the review with two questions. Â It was still a very heavy pull, and would never qualify as “smooth,” but it was certainly useable. Â It got a lot smoother and seemed to lighten up a bit. Â As I dry fired the gun, and then later shot it on the range, the pull did improve. Out of the box, the Off Duty’s trigger was heavy and gritty. Â But, I believe it could be improved with a better trigger. Â Hitting a man-sized target at 15 yards is not difficult with this gun.

The sights were easy to use in fact, they were much more visible than what I am used to on other snub nose revolvers.  I wonder if the felt recoil would be even less if the grips were made of a softer rubber.  They seem a little thicker than the boot grips found on some other guns, and seemed to more evenly distribute the recoil impulse across a larger area.  They are a hard rubber and do a very good job of filling the hand. I believe the mild recoil was largely due to the grips used by Charter Arms.  Recoil was definitely more than that with a 4″ K-frame, but it wasn’t bad.  Surprisingly this wasn’t the case with the Off Duty.  Many times when shooting a small gun, especially with hot loads, the recoil can be less than enjoyable. Shooting the lightweight revolver wasn’t as punishing as I had expected.  I shot standard pressure and +P loads (all factory stuff) and everything worked properly. Let me start by saying that during this Charter Arms Off Duty review, the gun was completely reliable with every load I ran through it.  The Off Duty’s shroud helps protect the ejector rod from damage.  If bent, the rod may not eject spent cases.

Unlike some other snub nose revolvers, the Charter Arms Off Duty has a full length underbarrel lug which serves as a shroud for the ejector rod.  The gun is also compact with a 2″ barrel and holding only five rounds of. The Off Duty is light: roughly 12 ounces unloaded.  It has a partially shrouded hammer that still allows the shooter to cock the gun.  If you like to cock your gun, but still limit the possibility of the gun snagging on anything, check out the On Duty revolver.  This style of gun must therefore be double action only (there is no external hammer to cock) and the gun does not have as many things to impede a smooth draw from concealment.  The gun definitely has a hammer, but it is completely hidden inside of the firearm. The Off Duty is a “hammerless” revolver, which is a bit of a misnomer.  The company, like many, has been through its ups and downs, but has never given up on making. 44 Special Bulldog, the company started with The Undercover, a.  Although the company is probably most famous for the.  In this Charter Arms Off Duty review, I will tackle the questions:  Is this a good revolver?  Is this gun better than a Smith & Wesson revolver?  Read on…the answers may surprise you.Ĭharter Arms has been making handguns since 1964.  You have to buy a quality revolver to obtain the legendary reliability most are known for.  But, they are complex machines and bad ones are often worthless junk. Few things beat a revolver for ruggedness and reliability.
