Product Overview

The Charter Arms Pro 22 Blank Starter Pistol is purpose-built for track and field events, officiating, and organized sporting activities that require an audible signal. Unlike firearms designed for hunting or personal defense, this starter pistol uses a .22 blank cartridge system to produce a loud, consistent report—the standard signal for races, competitions, and drills. The bright orange frame and black accents make the device's non-lethal function immediately apparent, meeting safety and legal requirements for starter pistols in competitive settings.

Charter Arms drew on decades of small-frame revolver manufacturing expertise to engineer a starter pistol that balances durability with reliability. The 6-round cylinder and exposed spurred hammer deliver the mechanical simplicity and tactile feedback that event officials and athletic directors expect from a quality starter device. Whether you're running track meets, swim competitions, or CrossFit events, consistent ignition and rugged construction matter—this model is designed to fire thousands of times without the maintenance headaches or misfires that plague cheaper alternatives.

The included sling swivel stud with ring lets you secure the pistol to your wrist or attach it to a lanyard, reducing the risk of dropping it during high-pressure moments. Black rubber grips provide a secure, non-slip hold even in sweaty conditions. The orange frame isn't just a legal requirement; it's a visual confidence cue for athletes and spectators that the device is a starting signal, not a firearm.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a real firearm or a blank starter pistol?

The Charter Arms Pro 22 is a purpose-built blank starter pistol, not a firearm. It fires .22 blank cartridges to produce an audible signal for sporting events. The orange frame is required by law to identify it as non-lethal and distinguish it from actual firearms.

What events is this starter pistol used for?

This model is designed for track and field competitions, swim meets, athletic events, and any organized sporting activity that requires an official starting signal. Event referees and officials typically use starter pistols to ensure fair, simultaneous starts.

Can I attach a lanyard or wrist strap to it?

Yes. The Charter Arms Pro 22 includes a sling swivel stud with ring, allowing you to attach a lanyard or secure it to your wrist to prevent dropping during use.

How many shots can I fire before reloading?

The 6-round cylinder allows six consecutive starts before you need to reload .22 blank cartridges.
