The Charter Arms Undercover Lite Blue Diamond delivers concealed carry performance with reduced weight through its aluminum frame construction. This 38 Special revolver combines the reliability of a 5-shot cylinder with modern materials engineering for extended carry comfort.
What Makes This Different
The aluminum frame reduces overall weight by approximately 25% compared to traditional steel-frame revolvers while maintaining structural integrity. Charter Arms' Blue Diamond finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance beyond standard anodizing processes. The hi-polished stainless steel barrel and cylinder create a distinctive two-tone appearance while delivering consistent accuracy and easy maintenance.
Key Features
- Lightweight aluminum frame with Blue Diamond finish for corrosion protection

- Finger-grooved black rubber grip for secure handling and recoil management

Field performance centers on reliability and portability for personal protection scenarios. The 2-inch barrel length balances concealability with sufficient velocity for defensive ammunition effectiveness. Weather resistance from the stainless components and protective frame finish maintains function in humid or coastal environments. The reduced weight profile enables all-day carry without fatigue while the rubber grip texture provides control during rapid fire sequences.
