#Replace trigger spring charter arms pathfinder professional#
Sights on the Professional consists of a fixed, green fiber-optic pipe up front and a square-notch rear that has been cut into the revolver’s frame. A cylinder stop on the frame is not required, which aids in quicker reloads when using a speedloader. The cylinder is supported by a three-point lockup it rotates clockwise and swings out to the left side when the flat, serrated cylinder release is pressed forward toward the muzzle. The cylinder’s yoke is fitted into a protective slot in the frame rather than being exposed along its front edge like some other designs. A frame-mounted transfer bar safety, located between the hammer and the firing pin, prevents the revolver from firing if dropped. It is positioned relatively low to make it easier to reach with the thumb of the shooting hand. The grooved cocking spur of the hammer is relatively short, which reduces the chance of it snagging on clothing. The topstrap of the receiver is deeply grooved with a square notch above the hammer to form the rear sight. The full-length, flat-sided under lug shrouds the spring-loaded ejector rod, while the front sight base is a milled extension of the barrel. The bore is button-rifled with eight grooves, instead of six, to provide a better gas seal and reduce bullet deformation. The one-piece 3″ barrel shares the same profile as other Charter models currently in production. 44 Special that didn't cost an arm and a leg in that weight and size.Like other Charter Arms models, the Professional’s trigger guard and grip assembly are made of lightweight aluminum. I'm really surprised someone else didn't make a 19oz. They filled a void in the market that nobody could beat for the price. With that said, I've never considered Charter to be up to Ruger's standards. It still is the gun that sits over my computer and in the last 30 years of (legal ) carry, it's the gun I've carried the most. I settled on 6.3gr Bullseye and a semi hard 235 SWC. I've shot hundreds of warmish reloads thru it and it's as tight as the day I got it, I mean after the 2nd trip back to the factory the 1st not their fault. 2 had to go back to the factory, the best one got stolen from my daughter. I had mixed results with 3 I bought between '76-'81.
I know the quality and strength of a Ruger and it can't be beat! I know nothing of the new Charter Arms revolvers. 380 is really just a short lower velocity 9mm. I do not know if it is small and light weight enough to just drop into your pocket like the. Ruger has just brought out a larger version of the LCP in 9mm. You may be a bit undergunned with one of these but at least you will have it on your person all the time. You just stick it in a front pocket and forget about it. I finally broke down and bought the little bitty Ruger LCP. (I suspect the SP101 is significantly larger and heavier than the Charter Arms.) Small as these revolvers are they are not all that light and are difficult to carry concealed in light summer clothing. I have read mixed reviews about the newer Charter Arms products ( I think made by a new Charter Arms company) but have no personnel experience with them.
It has served me well for all these years. 44 special 5 shot.Īt the time I bought it (mid 70's) it was the only game in town for a large bore revolver small enough for discreet carry. I have an early Charter Arms Bulldog blue steel. The SP101 is a great firearm but the original Charter Arms revolvers were well made.
