The Charter Arms Pitbull 79920 eliminates the need for moon clips when firing 9mm Luger ammunition in a revolver platform. This innovative design allows rimless cartridges to extract reliably without additional hardware, streamlining reloads and reducing fumbling with clips during critical moments.
What Makes This Different
The Pitbull's patented dual coil spring extractor system grips 9mm cases at the extractor groove, providing positive extraction without moon clips. This technology sets it apart from traditional revolvers that require clips or conversion cylinders for rimless ammunition. The system maintains the simplicity of revolver operation while expanding ammunition compatibility to include widely available and cost-effective 9mm rounds.
