Try one.

Even if the damn thing does break, Charter Arms will practically show up to your door to fix it. At least they might as well with how fast there CS gets things moving. Seriously though, say what you want about the company and it's products, but it's customer service is UNTOUCHABLE.

32 H&R magnum. My wife and daughter like to shoot it. I like that CA makes revolvers in this under-utilized caliber.

44 special. Another caliber I like a LOT. My fav calibers are 22lr, 32 h&r, 38 special, and 44 special. CA sells revolvers in all four!

Ive never understood why the 32 H&R Magnum revolvers from Charter are 5 shot... The discontinued 327 Patriot was a 6 shot, why 5 in H&R Magnum? Im starting to reload, so the 32 H&R Magnum interests me, but not with only 5 shots...

because the six shooter was on the .44spl bulldog frame and the five shooter is on the .38spl off duty frame.

Are you positive of that? My Taurus 327 is on the small model 85 frame. The SP101-327 is on the small frame. The S&W 327s were on the J Frame. There is no reason the 327 Patriot needed to be on the Bulldog frame. Since the Patriot is such a rare revolver, I have never had the chance to look one over.

My 6 shot Police undercover 38 is on the Bulldog frame, but its obviously a .38 Special.

Recently I've been looking into some of this stuff and it gets confusing, and it's also possible that some information has typo/s making it misinformation. Going by some old magazine ads and one online source of info called Unblinking Eye, it looks like this:

Ad from 1972, Bridgeport has an Undercoverette 6 shot in .32 S&W LONG, year of introduction unknown to me (see pic)

Same gun (6 shot .32 S&W LONG) continued to be made in Stratford, but Undercoverette name dropped in 1978

1984 (this is the odd ball), Unblinking Eye lists a 5 shot Undercover in .32 H&R MAGNUM

The guns above were on the small Undercover frame (not sure about the 5 shot H&R MAG, but the Undercover name suggests it)

1985-1989, according to Unblinking eye, they made the 6 shot Police Undercover in .32 H&R MAGNUM on the larger Bulldog frame. That gun was discontinued in 1989.

Their new nitride finish is pretty interesting to me.
Like all the others, I would be all over a 6 shot Undercoverette like white on rice.

I just posted in the .327 thread, but I've had my eye on a patriot as of late. I understand it's on the bulldog frame?

My buddie got a Charter Arms Mag Pug 357... 170 shots and the barrel came loose. He couldn't torque it back down because the sight blade was off. He sent it back and they put a new barrel on it. First day he got it back the transfer bar broke in half while dry firing. They are replacing the whole revolver now.

I just picked up my new Charter Arms Boomer .44 Special with nitride finish. I can believe how small it is and how light it is for a 44 special. The trigger pull is heavy, and being that it is a light gun, 18 ounces, I'll have to work on not pulling the gun to the right as I pull the trigger. I really like the nitride finish. Fits into the front pocket of my pants very well. It fits in the same Desantis Nemesis as the Ruger LCR to give you an idea of the size.

You didn't mention how it handles the recoil. I can't imagine it is much fun to shoot!
