Charter Arms has been building light, American-made revolvers for decades with a clear focus on the person who actually carries one every day. The Undercover is the company's flagship snub-nose: a five-shot .38 Special with a 2-inch barrel that weighs little enough to forget in a pocket holster.

This version comes fitted with a Crimson Trace Lasergrip, which activates automatically when you take a firing grip and projects a red dot on target. On a snub-nose with a short sight radius and rudimentary fixed sights, a laser is one of the more genuinely useful upgrades available. Stainless finish handles close-body carry well.
