Charter Arms Manufacturing

Charter Arms Manufacturing produces revolvers with a straightforward commitment: 100% American made, 100% American parts, 100% American owned. They manufacture in Shelton, Connecticut, and their entire product line comes from domestic production.

Charter revolvers feature several engineering distinctions:

• •One-piece frame design — stronger than competitor screw-on side plate designs
• •Hammer block transfer bar safety — Charter invented this system; it's now the industry standard. The hammer cannot fire unless the trigger is held in full rear position
• •Eight-groove barrels (vs. the standard six) for higher velocity, flatter trajectory, and better accuracy
• •Three-point cylinder lockup — cylinder stop, ejector rod collar, and cylinder-to-barrel engagement for extra safety and strength
• •Shortest hammer throw for fastest lock time
• •No external stud holding the cylinder open (only Charter offers this)

"Fewest critical moving parts for simplicity of design and trouble-free operation"

Charter's catalog includes models like the Pathfinder® (available in target and standard versions), Boomer, Blue Diamond, Chic Lady, and convertible multi-caliber options. Prices range from $399.99 to $435.00 suggested retail. They also manufacture Pro 22 and Pro 209 starter pistols.

Charter Arms sells exclusively through dealers — they don't sell direct to consumers. You can browse their full product catalog online to identify models, then contact a local dealer to purchase. Use their dealer locator to find FFL holders near you.
