Owners of the Charter Arms Boomer tend to appreciate its no-frills approach to a pocket revolver. The concealed hammer gets consistent praise for eliminating snag points during a draw, and the 9mm chambering is a practical choice for those who prefer not to stock a separate caliber. Recoil from a light snubby in 9mm is noticeable, and a few owners wish the grip were slightly longer.

The Boomer's compact dimensions make it genuinely pocketable, which is the whole point. Owners who carry it daily note the 5-round cylinder is a trade-off they accept for the size, and most use it in a pocket holster. Those coming from larger revolvers often comment that the short sight radius takes some adjustment at the range.

Charter Arms gets mixed reviews on fit and finish compared to higher-priced options. Most Boomer owners report reliable function, but the brand's quality control reputation means some buyers inspect their guns closely before trusting them for carry. Trigger pull is heavy by design, which splits opinion between those who see it as a safety feature and those who find it hard to shoot accurately under stress.
