The Charter Arms Undercoverette is a .32 H&R Magnum DA/SA revolver with a 2-inch barrel, stainless steel frame, and 6-round cylinder. Model number 73220. At 16 oz it's heavier than the aluminum-frame Charter Arms models but still manageable for daily carry. The overall length is 3.75 inches, keeping it genuinely pocketable. Fixed sights won't snag on the draw. The double/single action mechanism lets you run double-action for speed or cock the hammer for a lighter pull on deliberate shots.

Detailed Features 

The stainless steel frame resists corrosion and holds up to carry wear better than aluminum alternatives, at the cost of some additional weight. The .32 H&R Magnum cartridge sits between .32 S&W Long and .38 Special in terms of energy - enough for personal defense at close range while producing less recoil than .38 Special, which some shooters prefer. The 6-round cylinder gives one extra shot over the 5-round Charter Arms standard carry models.

Charter Arms Undercoverette owners mostly focus on three things: the compact size, the .32 H&R Magnum caliber, and the stainless construction. The small dimensions make it genuinely easy to carry and conceal, and the stainless finish handles daily wear without much maintenance. Trigger smoothness gets positive comments from most owners across different skill levels.

The caliber debate is the main ongoing discussion. .32 H&R Magnum sits in a defensible middle ground - more energy than .32 ACP, less than .38 Special, with lighter recoil than both standard and +P .38 loads. Whether that's adequate for self-defense is a legitimate question that owners approach differently. Some find the trade-off worthwhile; others would prefer .38 Special capacity and accept the extra recoil.

The 6-round cylinder versus the 5-round capacity in most .38 Special snubs is a noted advantage. Semi-automatic alternatives at similar price points offer higher capacity, which factors into some buyers' decisions. Recoil management and accuracy at distance get occasional mixed reviews.
