The Charter Arms Off Duty delivers reliable concealed carry performance in a compact .380 ACP platform designed for discretion and dependability. This lightweight revolver combines the simplicity of wheel gun mechanics with modern concealment features for everyday carry situations.
What Makes This Different
Unlike semi-automatic pistols that can jam under adverse conditions, this revolver's simple mechanical action ensures consistent ignition with every trigger pull. The concealed hammer design eliminates snag points during draw from purses or pockets while maintaining the reliability advantage of revolver operation. The 2-inch ported barrel reduces felt recoil and muzzle flip compared to standard barrels of similar length.

- Concealed hammer design prevents snagging during draw from concealment
- Ported 2-inch stainless steel barrel reduces recoil and improves follow-up shots

Field performance demonstrates consistent accuracy within typical self-defense ranges of 3-7 yards. The .380 ACP chambering offers manageable recoil for shooters sensitive to heavy recoil while providing sufficient stopping power for personal protection scenarios. Weather-resistant stainless steel construction maintains function in humid conditions where blued steel might corrode.
