The Charter Arms 73524 .357 Magnum 2.2" 5-Round Stainless Revolver represents a proven platform for law enforcement backup carry, personal defense, and off-duty use. Built on Charter Arms' reputation for reliability in high-stress environments, this compact revolver delivers the stopping power of .357 Magnum in a package weighing just 2.41 lbs—making it ideal for concealed carry without sacrificing performance. The 2.2-inch barrel balances firepower and concealability, while the five-round capacity meets the needs of professional and civilian operators seeking a dependable revolver for close-quarters defensive scenarios.

Constructed entirely from stainless steel, the Charter Arms 73524 resists corrosion and maintains functionality in harsh field conditions—critical for duty weapons exposed to moisture, salt, and extreme temperatures. The solid stainless construction also contributes to the revolver's inherent accuracy and durability under sustained use. Chambered in .357 Magnum, this five-round revolver accepts both full-power magnum loads and lower-recoil .38 Special ammunition, providing tactical flexibility and reduced wear for training or extended shooting sessions. The compact 8.2-inch overall length and narrow 3.1-inch width facilitate rapid deployment from ankle holsters, waistband rigs, or deep-concealment carry positions without printing or snagging on clothing.

Law enforcement officers, security professionals, and civilian defenders favor the Charter Arms .357 Magnum revolver for its mechanical simplicity—no external safeties to manipulate under stress, and no magazine-dependent reliability. The five-round configuration suits ankle backup scenarios, off-duty carry, and personal protection roles where deep concealment takes priority over round count. Revolver shooters value the interchangeability of .357 Magnum and .38 Special ammunition in this platform, allowing ammunition selection based on mission requirements or training budgets. The stainless finish and proven Charter Arms action ensure years of reliable service in vehicle consoles, desk drawers, and integrated defensive systems.
