Charter Arms Magpug 357 2.2" 5rd Nit

The Charter Arms Magnum Pug .357 Magnum 2.2" 5-round revolver is a compact, high-stopping-power wheelgun engineered for home defense and personal protection. Built on a proven design, this .357 Mag revolver delivers the velocity and terminal performance of a service cartridge in a package short enough to manage in close-quarters defensive scenarios. The 2.2-inch barrel produces meaningful muzzle energy while keeping overall length under 8 inches, making it suitable for quick access and nightstand deployment.

At 2.44 pounds, the Magnum Pug balances mass enough to tame .357 Magnum recoil without excessive muzzle flip, while remaining light enough for extended carry. The five-round cylinder capacity is standard for compact revolvers in this class—the trade-off between firepower and portability is intentional. .357 Magnum ammunition offers superior penetration and energy transfer compared to smaller cartridges, and the short barrel still achieves respectable velocity from full-power loads. Revolver reliability in .357—no magazine dependencies, no feed failures—remains a proven virtue for duty and protection use.

This revolver is purpose-built for operators, law enforcement, and civilians who prioritize stopping power and mechanical reliability in a minimal footprint. Nightstand defense, vehicle storage, backup carry, and off-duty protection are primary applications. The compact profile makes it accessible to shooters who need capability without the bulk of a full-size service revolver. Charter Arms Magnum Pug revolvers have maintained consistent market presence among serious revolver users who understand that .357 Magnum performance, combined with revolver simplicity, offers a no-compromise foundation for home and personal defense.
