The Charter Arms Coyote delivers reliable personal protection in a compact 380 ACP platform with distinctive pink and high-polish finish. This 5-shot revolver combines Charter Arms' proven reliability with a 2-inch barrel optimized for concealed carry applications.
What Makes This Different
Unlike most 380 ACP pistols that rely on magazine-fed semi-automatic actions, the Coyote uses Charter Arms' time-tested revolver mechanism that eliminates feeding issues and ammunition sensitivity. The aluminum frame construction reduces weight to approximately 12 ounces while maintaining structural integrity for repeated firing. The pink anodized finish provides corrosion resistance beyond standard bluing while offering a distinctive appearance that stands out from conventional defensive firearms.
Key Features
- 5-shot cylinder capacity with 380 ACP chambering for reliable ignition
- 2-inch barrel length optimized for concealment and quick deployment
- Aluminum frame construction reduces overall weight to 12 ounces
- Pink anodized finish with high-polish accents for corrosion resistance
- Small rosewood checkered grips provide secure handling in various conditions
- Double-action trigger system eliminates manual cocking requirements
- Fixed sights regulate for standard 380 ACP defensive ammunition
The Coyote's revolver action proves advantageous in defensive scenarios where reliability takes precedence over capacity. The 380 ACP chambering provides sufficient stopping power while generating manageable recoil for rapid follow-up shots. Weather resistance exceeds that of many semi-automatic alternatives due to the enclosed cylinder design that protects cartridges from environmental contamination. The 2-inch barrel delivers practical accuracy at defensive distances while maintaining optimal concealability.
