Charter Arms Double Dog Mag Pug & Pitbull Handgun 9mm Luger /.357 Mag 5rd Capacity 4.2'' Barrel
The Charter Arms Double Dog Mag is a compact 5-shot revolver built for shooters who want genuine caliber flexibility without carrying two guns. Chambered in both 9mm Luger and .357 Magnum, this revolver lets you run whatever ammunition is available or suits your mission—whether that's range time, personal defense, or backcountry carry. The 4.2-inch barrel strikes a practical balance between sight radius and manageability, making it at home in a truck holster, backpack, or belt during a long day in the field.
Charter Arms engineered the Double Dog Mag with a stainless steel frame finished in black passivate, a corrosion-resistant process that holds up to sweat, weather, and years of use without the slickness of traditional bluing. At 24 ounces, it's light enough for extended carry but substantial enough to manage recoil and provide a steady sight picture. The Backpacker Walnut grip gives you authentic, durable feel in your hand—no plastic, no frills, just honest wood and steel.
This is a no-nonsense revolver for hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, and shooters who value versatility and reliability. The fixed-sight, hammer-fired design keeps it simple: point, press, fire. No safeties to fumble, no magazines to lose. If you're assembling a lightweight backcountry kit or want a reliable defensive revolver that runs two major calibers, the Double Dog Mag delivers the goods at a realistic price point.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I shoot both 9mm and .357 Magnum in the same revolver?
Yes. The Charter Arms Double Dog Mag is specifically designed to fire both 9mm Luger and .357 Magnum ammunition from the same 5-shot cylinder. This dual-caliber capability gives you flexibility to use whatever rounds are on hand or suit your intended use.
Is this revolver suitable for backcountry or hiking carry?
Yes. At 24 ounces with a compact 4.2-inch barrel, the Double Dog Mag is designed for outdoor use and extended carry. The Backpacker Walnut grips and stainless steel construction make it a practical choice for hunters, campers, and overlanders who want a reliable defensive tool without excessive weight.
What type of sights does it have?
The revolver features fixed sights, a simple and reliable sighting system common to traditional revolvers. Fixed sights require no adjustment and eliminate moving parts that could fail in the field.
Why choose black passivate finish over traditional bluing?
Black passivate is a corrosion-resistant electrochemical process that protects stainless steel without a glossy coating. It resists rust and wear from moisture and regular handling, making it ideal for outdoor and weather-exposed use.
