Maybe now, but I have seen and handled an Undercover in stainless that had a stainless grip frame (and, I DO know the difference.)
Furthermore some CA grip frames are now plastic.
The original Charters and the new Charters are very good guns. I say this with much experience working on and shooting guns, including many Charters. They are solid frame guns, which makes then different, but not inferior to other makes. Action jobs can be done on them, they are as accurate as any other gun of the size, and they are less expensive than lots of other guns.
If 2 guns are the same size, same caliber-and one weighs less and costs less, but is just as reliable as the other...which one is "better?" And, "better" for what?
I have S&W "J" frames-642, 637. I have a Taurus 905, I have a Rossi 68, and a whole bunch of similar revolvers. My wife's bedside gun is the Charter pictured in this thread, and a nickeled Undercover stays by my front door.
