FEATURES
Charter Arms has expanded its defensive lineup with the new Boomer Series, a compact revolver platform built on the proven Bulldog model and engineered for serious everyday carry.
Offered in 9mm, .38 Special, .357, and .44 Special, each caliber is available in two finishes, giving shooters practical choices without overcomplicating the mission. At its core is a 2-inch extruded 416 stainless steel ported barrel paired with a trenched rear sight system, delivering quick sight acquisition in a streamlined profile.
The concealed hammer keeps the draw snag-free, while the frame and cylinder—also machined from 416 stainless steel—underscore the revolver’s strength and durability. Stainless steel components throughout and a combat rubber grip round out the build.
Available in five-shot and six-shot configurations, the Boomer Series is purpose-built to balance concealability with unmistakable knock-down power.
