I own five Charter Arms revolvers (.44 Bulldog, .38 Special Ultra-Lite, .327 Federal Magnum Patriot, .41 Magnum Mag Pug, and .45 Colt Bulldog), and just ordered this .357 Magnum Mag Pug with the 3" barrel in highly polished stainless steel. No, the trigger action on the CA is not as smooth and crisp as Smith & Wesson revolvers, and Charters are certainly not as ruggedly constructed as Rugers (I own numerous revolvers of both those brands), but Charter Arms revolvers work, and are backed with a lifetime warranty from Nick Ecker and his colleagues in Shelton, CT. Additionally, these handguns are much less expensive, especially in the magnum iterations, than revolvers from either S&W or Ruger. Overall, I always considered them a good value for the money. I ordered the .357 Mag Pug for the following reasons: 3" barrel (most Charters have a 2" or 2.5" barrel), and high polish stainless finish (virtually all are matte stainless). Also, Charter is now offering a $25 rebate on their revolvers until 8/31/19. Those factors, along with a reasonable purchase price, sealed the deal for me, even though I own a half dozen .357 mag revolvers already. I'm looking forward to receiving the revolver and taking it to the range. I already ordered rosewood checkered grips from Altamont to replace the standard factory grips (which are now rubber).
