Charter Arms Pitbull .40 S&W Revolver
The Charter Arms Pitbull represents a thoughtful solution to a persistent problem in revolver design: the reliable use of rimless cartridges without requiring moon clips or other accessories.

- Barrel Length: 2.3 inches—compact enough for concealed carry, substantial enough for practical accuracy.
- Capacity: 5 rounds of .40 S&W ammunition.
- Construction: 416 stainless steel frame and cylinder with matte finish for durability and corrosion resistance.
- Grip: Full-size rubber grip with finger grooves for control and comfort.
- Weight: 20 ounces—manageable for daily carry.
- Action: Standard hammer for traditional double-action/single-action operation.
Why This Matters
The Pitbull bridges a gap that has long frustrated revolver shooters. Rimless cartridges like .40 S&W lack the rim that traditional revolver ammunition uses for extraction and retention. Charter Arms solved this elegantly with their patented spring system, giving you the reliability of a revolver with the ballistic options of modern ammunition. No special equipment. No fuss. Just load, shoot, and eject.
This is a practical, no-nonsense defensive revolver for those who value simplicity and reliability.
