The Charter Arms Undercover Elite .38 Special is a six-shot snub revolver with a 2.2-inch barrel (Charter Arms part no. 53620). Its 7075 aircraft-grade aluminum frame is finished in clear anodize and paired with stainless steel components, and the whole gun weighs 16 ounces. LitePipe sights, a polymer trigger guard and a combat full rubber grip round out the package. The extra round over Charter’s five-shot Undercover models gives it more capacity in a similar carry footprint. It is a sensible choice for concealed carry or a nightstand revolver.
