Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Charter Arms Coyote good for concealed carry?
Yes. The 2-inch barrel and compact frame make this revolver well-suited for pocket, ankle, or inside-the-waistband carry. Its light weight and small profile minimize printing and allow comfortable all-day wear.
Why a five-shot .380 instead of a larger-caliber revolver?
The .380 cartridge produces significantly less recoil than larger defensive rounds, making it more manageable for shooters of varying strength and experience levels. This translates to faster, more accurate follow-up shots. The five-shot capacity is typical for snub-nose revolvers in this class.
Does it require a safety to carry?
The Coyote is a traditional double-action revolver with no external safety. Many experienced carriers prefer this design for simplicity and consistency—the trigger itself is the safety mechanism.
What finish is this revolver?
