Charter Arms Undercover Lite .38 Special 2" 5 Revolver

The Charter Arms Undercover Lite .38 Special 2" 5 Revolver is purpose-built for concealed carry and backup duty—the platform of choice for plainclothes officers, detectives, and civilians prioritizing minimal weight without sacrificing stopping power. At 1.94 lbs, this five-shot revolver delivers the reliability of a traditional double-action wheelgun in a package small enough for ankle holsters, waistband rigs, or deep pocket carry.

The 2-inch barrel provides adequate velocity for defensive .38 Special loads while maintaining a profile that won't print or snag during transitions. Charter Arms engineered the Undercover Lite chassis using aluminum alloy to reduce overall weight while maintaining revolver ruggedness—a critical advantage during extended shifts or active carry where ounces matter. The fixed sights are designed for rapid target acquisition in low-light scenarios, and the double-action trigger breaks cleanly enough for consistent shot placement at typical defensive ranges (7–15 yards).

Law enforcement, security professionals, and civilian defensive carriers benefit most from this wheelgun's simplicity and dependability—no safeties to disengage under stress, no magazines to lose, and no failures to feed. The Undercover Lite works seamlessly with .38 Special ammunition, balancing recoil management with proven defensive terminal performance when paired with modern hollow-point ammunition. Its five-round capacity ensures that users can carry a reliable firearm without compromising on firepower.
