The Rimless Cartridge Solution
The Pitbull's defining feature is its dual-coil spring extractor assembly. This system allows 9mm rimless cartridges to seat reliably in each chamber while remaining secure during firing. After you discharge your rounds, the extractor ejects all five spent cases simultaneously—enabling fast reloads when it matters.
Black Nitride Finish
Charter Arms applies a proprietary Black Nitride+ finish that hardens the steel surface, reducing wear and friction. This translates to a revolver that will serve you reliably through years of shooting.
A Practical Defensive Tool
At 22 ounces with a 2.2-inch barrel, the Pitbull is compact enough for pocket or ankle carry while remaining controllable in double-action fire. The full rubber grip ensures a secure purchase even under stress. This is a revolver built for shooters who value reliability and simplicity.
