Charter Arms 64020 Pitbull Large 2.3" 5-Round Revolver

The Charter Arms 64020 Pitbull Large 2.3" 5-Round Revolver is purpose-built for plainclothes law enforcement, armed security professionals, and civilian defenders who prioritize reliability in a compact platform. Designed to function flawlessly with rimless cartridges—a capability that separates this revolver from traditional cylinder designs—the Pitbull addresses a critical gap in tactical handgun selection. Its lightweight, pocket-friendly profile makes it ideal for off-duty carry, ankle rigs, and vehicle storage without sacrificing the mechanical durability that revolver shooters demand.

This revolver employs Charter Arms' proven engineering, featuring a 2.3-inch barrel that balances shot placement control with rapid target acquisition at defensive distances. The 5-round capacity reflects a modern defensive philosophy—stopping power matters more than round count in close-quarters encounters. At 2.34 pounds unloaded, the Charter Arms Pitbull remains manageable during extended duty wear while providing sufficient mass to manage recoil and vibration. The compact 8 x 3.2 x 10.4-inch dimensions accommodate ankle holsters, pocket carriers, and appendix positions without printing through standard clothing, making it deployable in scenarios where larger semi-automatic platforms draw unwanted attention.

Security professionals and off-duty officers benefit most from this revolver's simplicity and mechanical reliability—no slide racks, no magazine changes under stress, no feed-dependent ammunition concerns. Compatibility extends across common defense calibers and holster systems designed for compact revolvers, making retention and draw training straightforward. For budget-conscious agencies and individual operators seeking a secondary or backup firearm, the Charter Arms Pitbull Large delivers proven mechanical function in a truly concealable platform that performs when secondary defense options matter most.
