Charter Arms Mag Pug 357 Magnum 5-Shot 2.2" Revolver Black Nitride

The Charter Arms Mag Pug delivers full-power .357 Magnum performance in a compact 5-shot revolver designed for serious defensive applications. This black nitride-finished revolver combines the stopping power of magnum cartridges with the reliability that Charter Arms built its reputation on.

What Makes This Different

The Mag Pug's black nitride treatment provides superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional bluing, extending service life in harsh conditions. The 2.2-inch barrel length strikes an optimal balance between concealability and ballistic performance, maintaining effective .357 Magnum velocities while reducing overall length. Charter Arms' solid frame construction eliminates the side plate found on many competitors, creating a stronger, more rigid platform that handles magnum pressures with confidence.

Key Features

• 5-shot cylinder chambered for .357 Magnum and .38 Special cartridges
• Black nitride finish on steel barrel, cylinder, and frame for enhanced durability
• 2.2-inch barrel optimized for defensive ammunition performance
• Finger-grooved black rubber grip provides secure handling under recoil
• Solid frame construction without removable side plate
• Double-action/single-action trigger mechanism
• Fixed front and rear sights for reliable target acquisition

Field performance demonstrates the Mag Pug's capability across multiple scenarios. The .357 Magnum chambering delivers effective terminal ballistics for personal protection while maintaining the option to practice with milder .38 Special loads. The compact dimensions make it suitable for concealed carry applications where larger revolvers prove impractical. The black nitride finish resists wear from holster draw cycles and environmental exposure better than standard finishes.
