Product Overview

The Charter Arms Pitbull 9mm revolver is a compact, no-nonsense wheelgun built for shooters who want reliable defense or range performance without the complexity of moon clips. This 6-inch barrel, 5-shot stainless steel revolver uses Charter's proprietary rimless cartridge extractor system—a dual coil spring assembly in the extractor that grips and retains 9mm rounds in each cylinder chamber without any additional gear. Load it, shoot it, eject, reload. No fuss.

The matte stainless steel construction resists corrosion and blends function with a purposeful, unpolished look. The large glass-bead-blasted frame feels substantial in hand, while the full-size grip with finger grooves gives you positive control and quick target acquisition. Whether you're working a defensive drill at the range, practicing precision shooting, or keeping a reliable handgun in the nightstand, the Pitbull's fixed blade front sight and adjustable rear sight let you dial in hits quickly.

Nine-millimeter ammunition is affordable and plentiful, making the Pitbull an economical choice for practice and carry alike. The standard hammer cycles smoothly and gives you the option of single-action trigger pulls when accuracy matters. This is a revolver that does its job without gimmicks—solid stainless steel, straightforward sights, and a purpose-built extraction system that works.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need moon clips to shoot 9mm in this revolver?

No. The Charter Arms Pitbull uses a proprietary rimless cartridge extractor with a dual coil spring assembly that grips and holds 9mm rounds in each cylinder chamber without moon clips. Simply load, fire, and eject.

What's the barrel length and what does that mean for me?

The Pitbull has a 6-inch barrel, which provides a longer sight radius than compact revolvers for faster target acquisition and can support slightly higher velocities than shorter barrels. It's a good balance between ease of use and practical performance.

Is this revolver suitable for self-defense or training?

Yes. The Pitbull's 9mm caliber, reliable stainless construction, and adjustable sights make it suitable for both defensive carry and range training. The absence of moon clip requirements also means faster, simpler reloads during practice or emergency use.

What sights come on the Pitbull?

The Pitbull ships with a fixed blade front sight and an adjustable rear sight, allowing you to zero the gun and make elevation adjustments as needed for your ammunition and range.
