The Charter Arms Pitbull is a purpose-built double-action/single-action revolver chambered in the popular and easy-to-shoot .380 ACP cartridge. Part of Charter's Large Frame lineup, the Pitbull pairs a 3-inch stainless steel barrel with a matching 6-shot stainless steel cylinder riding in a lightweight anodized aluminum frame. At just 20 ounces unloaded, it is light enough for all-day carry yet heavy enough to manage .380 ACP recoil comfortably.
What sets the Pitbull apart from other revolvers is its proprietary dual coil spring extractor assembly, specifically engineered to reliably extract and eject rimless .380 ACP cases - a task most revolvers cannot do. This makes the Pitbull an attractive option for shooters who want the simplicity and reliability of a revolver but prefer the .380 ACP over traditional revolver cartridges like .38 Special. The exposed hammer supports both double-action self-defense use and single-action precision shooting.
This model features black finger-grooved rubber grips for a secure hold, a fixed front sight for snag-free draws, and an overall length of 7.32 inches. The combination of a stainless barrel and cylinder with an anodized aluminum frame delivers durability and corrosion resistance while keeping carry weight down. Whether for concealed carry, home defense, or use as a reliable range gun, the Pitbull is built to deliver consistent performance in a compact, carry-friendly package.
