The Charter Arms Boomer .357 Magnum is a stainless steel, five-shot revolver built for concealed carry (Charter Arms part no. 73559). It pairs a 2-inch barrel with a concealed hammer and a double-action-only trigger, so nothing on top of the frame can snag during a draw. A black rubber grip fills the hand, and the stainless finish stands up to daily carry. For a backup gun or a compact home defense revolver, the Boomer packs magnum chambering into a small frame.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .357 Magnum, the magnum revolver cartridge this model is built around.
• Capacity is a five-shot cylinder, a compact count that keeps the frame small enough for carry.
• The barrel is 2 inches long, a short length that favors concealment and quick handling over sight radius.
• The action is double action only, so every shot is one consistent trigger pull with no cocking step.
• The hammer is concealed, which removes the spur that can snag on clothing during a draw.
• The finish is stainless steel, chosen for corrosion resistance on a gun that rides close to the body.
• Grips are black rubber, which add cushion and traction under magnum recoil.
• The sights are trenched, a low-profile design that leaves the top of the revolver free of snag points.
• Overall length is 6.75 inches, short enough to carry comfortably in a concealment holster.
• Unloaded weight is about 18 ounces, light for a stainless magnum revolver.
