Charter Arms introduced its “Undercover” revolver to the shooting world in 1964. Designed to compete directly with the Smith & Wesson .38-caliber “Chiefs Special,” the Undercover featured a solid frame (like the later Ruger double-action revolvers) designed to allow the use of heavier (later known as +P) loads that certain revolvers that had sideplates (Smith & Wesson and Colt) couldn’t handle. The design could — and still can — be field-stripped (like the Rugers) to its basic component parts, making for easy cleaning.

Charter Arms has been around since 1964. The very first Charter Arms product was a five-shot, double-action, snub-nose revolver in .38 Special called the Undercover. It was conceived by American engineers who wanted a new and different handgun design while keeping with the traditions established in New England’s “Gun Valley.” At the time, this revolver was very different from the wheelguns produced by Colt and Smith & Wesson.
