I have seen them in store display cases, but never bothered to really look at them. I guess I am asking, are they a well kept secret or just an inexpensive assembly of parts.

We have two in my family. I have a .44 bulldog Pug that I've actually been trying to get rid of because I don't need it any more. I bought a S&W 640 instead cause it's a little easier to carry. My wife on the other hand likes her Charter Undercover very much. In fact she passed up a S&W M60 for it. They are fine guns. You might do well to buy the Charter and spend the ballance of what you had in mind to spend on practice ammo.

:cb2: The Charter Arms Co. has gone through different phases with different owners. I remember they tested Charter Arms in "Gun Tests" magazine, and the firing pin broke on the first test. Enough goes wrong with the really good firearm companies, I tend to avoid the marginal ones.

A buddy of mine has carried one for 20 years, likes it just fine. They're meant to be carried a lot and shot very little. As long as you don't beat it up with hot ammo it will likely outlive you.
