The Charter Arms Mag Pug Target delivers reliable .357 Magnum performance in a robust stainless steel platform built for accuracy and durability. This 5-shot revolver features a 4.2-inch barrel that maximizes velocity while maintaining manageable recoil for extended shooting sessions.
What Makes This Different
The Mag Pug Target stands apart from standard revolvers with its oversized frame design that handles magnum pressures with confidence. The matte stainless steel construction resists corrosion better than blued alternatives while reducing glare for target work. Charter Arms' one-piece barrel design eliminates the barrel-to-frame joint found in many competitors, creating a more rigid platform that enhances accuracy potential.
Key Features
- 4.2-inch stainless steel barrel optimized for .357 Magnum ballistics
- 5-shot cylinder with simultaneous ejection for faster reloads
- Matte stainless steel finish on barrel, cylinder, and frame
- Black finger-grooved rubber grip reduces felt recoil and improves control
- Target-grade sights for precision shooting applications
- Compatible with standard .38 Special and .357 Magnum ammunition
- Single and double-action trigger mechanism
Field testing demonstrates consistent accuracy with both .38 Special target loads and full-power .357 Magnum hunting ammunition. The 4.2-inch barrel length strikes an optimal balance between velocity retention and portability for hunting, competition, and recreational shooting. Stainless steel construction maintains performance in adverse weather conditions where carbon steel revolvers might show corrosion.
