The Charter Arms Mag Pug delivers full-power 357 Magnum performance in an ultra-compact package that conceals easily while maintaining stopping power. This stainless steel revolver combines the reliability of a wheelgun with modern manufacturing precision for consistent performance.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard snub-nose revolvers limited to 38 Special, the Mag Pug chambers the more powerful 357 Magnum cartridge in a frame small enough for ankle carry. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion better than blued alternatives while the 2.2-inch barrel provides optimal velocity retention. Charter Arms' one-piece barrel design eliminates the barrel-to-frame joint found in many competitors, creating a stronger platform that handles magnum pressures consistently.
