The Charter line is cheap. They do not have good fit or finish. They work. There are other companies like Ruger, S&W and Colt building far better looking products. Are they functionally superior? They are in fit, finish and durability. All are reliable, pull the trigger and they will fire. CAs handle +Ps. Many times, people want a HD 38 Special. Taurus is expensive for some budgets. There are people who buy cheap but, they only buy new, not used. CA fits their idea of cheap and new. I used to buy H&Rs and High Standards revolvers. Not around anymore. CA filled that niche market. They offer a fairly extensive line-up. I would not bet my life on one. I don't know of any LEOs that actually used CA revolvers for duty. If your desire is to save money and have a so-so quality revolver, CA is the rvolver for that. Functional? Yes. Durable? No, in my experience. Reliable? Not always. I know some are happy with their CA revolvers. I wasn't. I suggest a used M10 from S&W.
