The Charter Arms Off Duty Coyote in .380 ACP occupies an unusual position in the compact revolver category. Revolvers chambered in .380 ACP are uncommon, and owners choose this model for the combination of revolver simplicity with a cartridge typically associated with small semi-automatics. The 2-inch barrel keeps it compact but limits ballistic performance.

Build quality opinions on Charter Arms revolvers vary more than on higher-end options. Owners who handle one before buying generally find it adequate for concealed carry; others report quality control concerns on cylinder timing and trigger pull consistency. The concealed hammer is a practical choice for pocket carry, eliminating snag points on draw.

The Coyote's ported barrel is designed to reduce muzzle rise on a short barrel, a trade-off that some owners find useful and others consider unnecessary for a .380 ACP platform. Value relative to the price divides buyers who want a revolver-based carry option and those who compare it to similarly-priced semi-automatics in the same caliber.
