Charter Arms Rimless Revolver

This sounds interesting. A 9mm revolver that will also shot 380s. No moon clips needed.

Wow, that's pretty interesting. I wonder what the quality of it will be. I've never owned a Charter, but the ones I've handled in gun shops seem clunky and the parts seem to fit poorly together.

These have been in the works for a long time. I have yet to see one anywhere. I will probably try one becasue I loved the taurus 905 9mm moon clip revolver. I just hated the moon clips.

maybe time to start looking again....

These look interesting.. Web site says late fall 2009 - anyone have an idea when they'll really be available?

I also still want to see one of the Chiappa Rhino revolvers..

[Guest truthsayer]

According to most sources, it's still just vaporware. I wouldn't expect it anytime soon.

[nightrunner]

If someone like S&W or even Ruger would make one I'd LOVE to have one in .45acp as a replacement for a .38spl J-frame.

[gregintenn]

I'll take one in .40.

[gotigers]

9mm hammerless carry version would be sweet.

I concur.

[JPS]

I'll take one in .40.

Me too. 9mm wouldn't be bad either - nice affordable ammo.

[TripleDigitRide]

I wonder why some of the other manufacturers haven't tried this.

[kb4ns]

I like how they mention it'll chamber .380 as well. With most manufacturers, I would assume you could fire it if you wanted. With Charter, I might call and ask 'em first...

Ruger's been making .45ACP and 9mm revolvers for a long time!

I'd love one in .40, unless they're unmitigated crap. Been wanting an S&W 610 for some time now, but can't rationalize that much cash for one.

[gregintenn]

It seems like I remember Smith and Wesson having some type of trouble with their 9mm revolvers. I can't for the life of me remember exactly what it was.

I have to agree with that. A friend of mine bought a new Charter Arms .357 and it was a pig in everyway. He traded it after the second trip to the range, and I mean before we left the range.

A customer of mine asked me to clean her .38 cause she knows I'm into guns and it was a Charter Arms. Fit and finish were terrible and the parts quality didn't impress me.

All that said I like idea behind that gun.

I love my Taurus 905 9mm, I even like to moon clips (except for the part about finding them.) They are actually are 10 times better than speed loaders "if" they are already loaded.

actually been looking for a J-frame size DA not a SA cowboy gun.

I knew about the blackhawks w/ convertible cylinders, but thanks for the heads up. I still think they are an excellent SHTF-TEOTWAWKI weapon when ammo has to be scrounged for you might not be able to clean your guns as much as you should.

This would be cool, but finding 380s are few and far between. In Murfreesboro, as far as I know, you can only find 380 at the Outpost in Christiana.

FYI,

I called Charter Arms Wednesday, they said they are getting really close but would not give me a ship date for the .40 cal. He said they have produced a batch but have not been given the ok to ship to dealers. According to him they have been totally reliable in all the test they have done. I'm just passing the update on. I already know I'm going to buy one of the 9mm/.380 versions, it is a very cool concept without the moon clips.

[G27]

I'm certainly interested in looking at one in .40...

[Guest BEARMAN]

I've got the .44 special version with the factory CT lasergrips. It's not nearly the quality of a S&W...but, It's not nearly the cost of one either.

I have had good success with Charter Arms products...wife has an Off Duty .38 spcl. in her desk as we speak, and it's been good to go from day one.

This is my second Bulldog and they have both been good revolvers for me. FWIW.
