Charter Arms Mag Pug .357 Magnum Revolver Stainless Steel - Model 73521
Charter Arms
The Charter Arms Crimson Mag Pug .357 Magnum revolver is a compact, powerful wheelgun built for shooters who need serious stopping power in a gun that won't weigh down your nightstand or waistband. This 5-shot .357 Mag packs real firepower into a 2.2-inch barrel—short enough to handle quickly in tight spaces, long enough to deliver the velocity this cartridge is known for. At just 23 ounces, the stainless steel Pug is light enough for all-day carry or home defense without fatigue, yet heavy enough to manage recoil without feeling snappy. The real standout here is the integrated Crimson Trace laser grip, which lets you aim and fire accurately even in low light or from unconventional positions—a genuine advantage when seconds count.
Built as a double-action/single-action revolver, the Crimson Mag Pug gives you flexibility: DA for fast follow-up shots, or cock it for a cleaner SA trigger break at the range. Stainless steel means corrosion resistance and minimal maintenance, which matters in humid climates or vehicles. The laser sight transforms your grip into an aiming tool; no extra gadgets to mount, lose, or battery-check. Five rounds of .357 Magnum is enough capacity for most defensive scenarios, and the round's real-world terminal performance speaks for itself.
This isn't a range gun—it's a serious choice for bedside security, car defense, or backup carry by shooters who value power and simplicity over capacity. The compact form factor makes it manageable for smaller hands, while the .357 Magnum chambering and laser aiming system make it credible as a defensive tool. If you want a revolver that doesn't need a tactical light, red dot, or holster the size of a small animal, the Crimson Mag Pug delivers.
