The Charter Arms Boomer 44 Special delivers substantial stopping power in a compact package designed for concealed carry and personal defense. This 5-shot revolver combines the proven .44 Special cartridge with modern engineering to create a reliable defensive firearm that fits comfortably in most holsters.
What Makes This Different
The ported and tapered barrel design reduces felt recoil and muzzle flip compared to standard snub-nose revolvers in this caliber. Charter Arms constructs the entire frame and cylinder from matte stainless steel, providing superior corrosion resistance over blued alternatives. The finger-grooved rubber grip enhances control during rapid fire sequences while maintaining a low-profile silhouette for concealment.
