Charter Arms Pit Bull Rimless Revolver

Charter Arms

Shelton, CT, --(Ammoland.com)- Charter Arms, manufacturer of American made affordable and reliable revolvers for forty-seven years, has released the world’s first .40 caliber Rimless Revolver.

Serious caliber enthusiasts will appreciate this model built on the same frame as the Charter Arms .44 Special.

The Pit Bull has a five shot; 2.3 inch barrel with a 416 stainless steel matte finish frame with Charters full rubber grip. With an overall length of 6 ¾ inches it weighs 20 ounces and has a fixed frame rear sight and a ramped front sight with a standard hammer. A DAO hammer is available upon request.

The Charter Arms .40 caliber provides a rimless cartridge extractor assembly and a method of use that solves a long felt need in the firearms industry. It provides a dual coil spring assembly located in the extractor to allow the insertion and retention of a .40 caliber cartridge in each chamber of the revolvers’ cylinder.

After firing, this unique system allows the shooter easy ejection of spent cartridges for immediate reloading. Charter Arms has taken the difficulty of rimless loading and ejection to the simplicity of the rimmed cartridge in the revolver industry.

Nick Ecker, president of Charter Arms, said, “The Pit Bull is the ideal revolver for law enforcement officers to use as their back up, because they can now carry a revolver that utilizes the same ammo as their sidearm. And for the .40 caliber enthusiast, it gives them the first revolver that shoots their ammo without utilizing moon clips.”

Founded in 1964, Charter Arms manufactures a full line of revolvers made by professional, skilled American craftsmen in Shelton, CT, in the heart of New England’s “Gun Valley.” Steeped rich in tradition with unmatched customer service, Charter Arms revolvers are consistently associated with personal protection because of their strength, reliability and accuracy.

Charter Arms Proud to Host Second Amendment Rights Figure at NRA Meetings

Charter Arms

Shelton, CT, -(Ammoland.com)- Charter Arms is proud to support a central figure in today’s legal struggle to protect and defend Second Amendment rights in the United States, especially during the upcoming meetings of the National Rifle Association in Pittsburgh, PA,. Dick Heller, a Washington D.C. resident whose 2008 victory in the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed his right to own a firearm in the nation’s capital, will be at the Charter Arms exhibition booth #4119 to meet attendees of the NRA Annual Meetings; and to display a commemorative firearm manufactured by the skilled American craftsmen of Charter Arms recognizing the historic Heller decision.

For forty-seven years, Charter Arms has proudly manufactured a full line of revolvers in Shelton, CT, the heart of New England’s Gun Valley. Following Heller’s victory in the U.S. Supreme Court, Charter Arms president Nick Ecker commissioned a specially engraved and uniquely serial numbered version of its iconic .44 Special revolver, the .44 Bulldog. Each Bulldog is elaborately decorated and specially packaged for discerning firearms collectors with a certificate of authenticity and an engraved knife inside a hardwood and glass display case in a limited edition production aiming to raise funds for continued legal battles in defense of Second Amendment rights. (For details, see http://www.charterfirearms.com/products/Heller.html.)

Charter Arms President Nick Ecker points out, “Heller’s victory affirmed the Second Amendment as an individual right, but the fight continues to secure real and practical protection under the Second Amendment. Now he’s engaged in another court battle to overcome the District’s attempts for onerous licensing requirements and restrictions on modern-designed firearms. Charter Arms supports his continuing fight with funding for the Heller Foundation (http://www.hellerfoundation.org/) and his ally in the fight, the U.S. Bill of Rights Foundation (http://www.usbor.org/).”

Dick Heller will be greeting NRA members and other attendees at the Charter Arms exhibition booth #4119 Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10 am – 12 pm and 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm during the NRA Meetings Friday, April 28 to Sunday, May 1 at the David L.
