The Charter Arms Undercover Lite Southpaw addresses the specific needs of left-handed shooters with its mirrored cylinder release and ergonomic design. This compact 38 Special revolver features a lightweight aluminum frame that reduces carry weight while maintaining the reliability Charter Arms built their reputation on.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard revolvers adapted for left-hand use, the Southpaw features a true left-handed design with the cylinder release positioned for natural thumb operation. The anodized aluminum frame cuts weight by 30% compared to all-steel alternatives while the stainless steel barrel and cylinder resist corrosion in all weather conditions. The exposed hammer design provides single-action capability for precise shooting when needed.
