Back in 2011 I wrote an extensive review of that revolver which was picked up and published here for those that are interested in reading it:Įverything I said in that review remains true. I owned (and in a moment of madness sold) a 2011 Charter Arms Pitbull revolver in. It was that research that drew me to Charter Arms. I’ve long sought a reasonably priced revolver that would fire semi-auto ammunition without the need for moon clips in order to satisfy my recreational shooting preferences since 9mm ammunition is half the price of.

I can’t overstate my enthusiasm for Charter Arms as a company, or their Pitbull revolver. It is a splendidly designed and executed revolver that has performed flawlessly from a company whose customer service and dedication to the firearms community is second to none in the industry. For those that don’t want to take the time, the readers digest version is that I highly recommend the Charter Arms Pitbull 9mm. This is a painstakingly long review where I impart a lot of extraneous information which many of you may consider useless.
