Product Overview

The Charter Arms Pitbull .380 ACP stainless steel revolver is a compact, reliable sidearm built for shooters who want a lightweight defensive carry gun without the complexity of a semi-auto. This Model 73802 brings Charter Arms' no-nonsense engineering to a snappy caliber that's easy to shoot accurately and simple to maintain. At just 22 ounces, it's comfortable for daily carry or nightstand duty, and the six-round cylinder gives you enough capacity for most self-defense scenarios.

Built around a steel frame with a matte stainless steel finish, the Pitbull .380 resists corrosion and handles hard use. The 2.2-inch barrel is short enough for speed and concealment but long enough to get solid velocity from .380 ACP loads. The spurred hammer lets you choose between double-action pulls for carry and single-action for precision, giving you flexibility at the range or in a defensive moment. The fixed sight setup keeps things simple and snag-free—no adjustable parts to loosen over time.

The neoprene grip absorbs recoil and handles cleanly even in rough conditions. This is a revolver that doesn't need your attention—load it, secure it, and trust it to work when you need it. If you shoot revolvers, understand .380 ballistics, and want a proven pocket or ankle gun, the Pitbull .380 deserves serious consideration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Charter Arms Pitbull .380 good for concealed carry?

Yes. At 22 ounces with a 2.2-inch barrel, it's designed for compact carry. The fixed sights won't snag clothing, and the steel frame provides good balance for a short gun.

Can I shoot this revolver in double-action and single-action?

Yes. The spurred hammer allows you to cock it manually for single-action shots or simply pull the trigger for full double-action operation.

What's the difference between .380 ACP and other defensive calibers?
