There is a nick in the barrel underlug on the left side, a nick on the top of the frame toward the rear sights, the frame window has nicks on both sides top and bottom. The Charter Arms PITBULL has nicks or machine marks in a lot of places. I had to tap the ejector rod with my gun case to get the rounds out on the 5th cylinder. The empty brass will eject on the first 3 cylinders fired without any problems but after 3 cylinders worth of firing, things start to get sticky.

Out of the box the DA trigger on the Charter Arms PITBULL is better than the Taurus 905, but I have no idea how or if the Taurus trigger improves with use. Granted that the 929 is a $1,000 gun, and judging the trigger is subjective, but for a gun that is only a little over twice as expensive as the PITBULL, the trigger on the 929 is about 10 times better. It is no-where near as nice as the S&W 929.

The trigger has gotten better through a lot of dry-firing. I didn't even try at the range – the results would have been horrendous. It was really horrible out of the box, granted I am not an accomplished revolver shooter, but I couldn't keep the sights on target when dry firing it double-action. The DA trigger is also heavy, it stacks, speeds up and lets off. The double-action trigger is gritty, it sounds and feels like two rough pieces of metal rubbing against each other. Since I use 6 O’clock hold my shots are a little south of the bullseye on this target, but I think you get the picture that the gun is generally accurate. The gun is shootable, not too much recoil with various 9mm ammo and I do find it fun to shoot at the range.įiring it single-action, the gun is accurate, it fires where it is pointed. The single action trigger is crisp and breaks nicely. I think the grips are good and the gun feels good in my hand. The revolver loads easily (for a 9mm revolver), no moon clips are needed, you just pop the cartridges in and the gun is ready to go.

I paid $459.00 which reflects a premium because of their scarcity, Charter Arms didn’t seem to be making a lot of these, although I've seen more and more of these for sale now, and at a cheaper price Mike is a great guy and very easy to work with.Ģ) My PITBULL doesn't look nearly as nice as the stock pic I used Mike Losacco, a member here at Illinois Carry to do the transfer. One finally showed up on GrabAGun so I purchased it. I used search tools almost every day searching for one. I've always had an interest in 9mm revolvers and I've wanted one of these for a long time. I recently purchased a Charter Arms PITBULL in 9mm.
