For all the major revolver manufacturers that I know I've got an impression of their general standing in the minds of people on this forum.

Rugers are generally viewed as tough, S&W as perhaps more refined, Korth as a bit of a luxury along with Freedom Arms, Taurus seems more divisive with many claiming quality issues and yet others claiming flawless functioning and finally Colt seem to have a cult following. I get the feeling that they may not take abuse well, but they are some sort of benchmark.

Charter Arms, however, are still a mystery. They, too, seem to have a cult following but where this stems from is unclear to me. I also get the impression from some posts here and there that they are not necessarily built particularly well. However, I've never seen a post that has said out-right that they are either brilliant or junk. So what are CA about?
