If you align the top of the front sight with the top of the rear groove sight (like you're normally supposed to) the gun shoots low. Eventually someone on a forum got an answer out of Charter to align the center of the front sights fiber optic rod with the top of the rear sight to get it to shoot to the correct elevation.

This is for the .32 Mag model, IDK if the same goes for the .357 Professional.

It's a training thing, once you get use to it it works, but it's not ideal. Other than that, yup, a 3 inch 7 shot .32 Mag that weighs I think 22oz is about perfect.

My 2 cents, FWIW.
Have a 4" police bulldog in 38 sp. Was getting light strikes. Charter paid to ship it back. Single action is now about 95% reliable. Double action maybe 70%. Don’t feel like shipping it back again.
Painted the top and bottom halves of the front sight different colors, have to line up where they meet with the top of the rear sight for accuracy.

The Charter Mag Pug ( 5 Shot )is actually Colt D size or Taurus 856 size … Charter makes a 357 Professional in 357 .. it is a 6 shot 357 comes with a 3.5 or 4.2 inch barrel
All steel , but weighs 22.5 oz .. Comes in two finishes ,, Stainless Steel and Black Nitride over stainless… ..this is a pic of mine .. mine has been great

Will not allow me to upload pic

I've had the 44 Bulldog & the 8 shot Pathfinder. If you are used to S&W K-Frames it will be a real stretch to find happiness.
