Charter Arms 73565 Mastiff Target .357 Magnum 6" 5-Round Stainless Revolver

The Charter Arms 73565 Mastiff Target Large Frame 357 Magnum revolver combines proven wheelgun reliability with modern optics integration for precision shooting. This 6-inch stainless steel barrel, cylinder, and frame configuration delivers the velocity and sight radius demanded by serious revolver shooters, while the integrated Picatinny rail and Sightmark Micro Optic enable rapid target acquisition without iron sight compromise. The 5-round cylinder, exposed hammer, and black rubber grip establish a platform optimized for deliberate, accurate fire rather than high-volume capacity.

The 357 Magnum chambering offers significant velocity potential from the 6-inch barrel—a length that extracts the cartridge's ballistic advantage while maintaining manageable overall length and weight (3.24 lbs). Full stainless steel construction resists corrosion in harsh field conditions and reduces maintenance overhead for operators working extended deployments or in salt-air environments. The Picatinny rail integration is purpose-built for optic mounting without requiring gunsmiths' modification, while the exposed hammer provides tactile feedback and manual decocking capability. Black rubber grip panels manage recoil signature and provide secure purchase in demanding conditions.

This revolver serves shooters prioritizing precision over capacity—investigators, sport shooters, and operators who value the mechanical simplicity and documented reliability of a large-frame wheelgun paired with contemporary sighting systems. The target-oriented configuration reflects Charter Arms' positioning in the precision revolver segment, distinct from carry-optimized concealment designs. Buyers seeking a modern large-frame 357 Magnum with factory optics compatibility will find the specifications of this Mastiff model directly address that intersection.
