Product Overview

The Charter Arms Undercover Lite Southpaw .38 Special revolver is purpose-built for left-handed shooters who refuse to compromise on carry capability or reliability. Unlike ambidextrous designs that feel like compromises, the Southpaw is fully reverse-engineered from the ground up — the cylinder release and swing mechanism open to the right side, giving southpaws the natural, instinctive operation that right-handers take for granted. At just 12 ounces and built on a 7075 aluminum frame with a 2-inch barrel, this five-shot .38 Special handles everyday carry, truck storage, or backup duty without the weight penalty of a steel frame.

Charter Arms pioneered left-handed revolver design, and it shows in the execution. The Undercover Lite Southpaw fires both standard .38 Special and +P ammunition, giving you flexibility in load selection depending on your mission. The double-action/single-action trigger lets you shoot from the holster or take precision shots with a deliberate trigger press. The full-grip frame ensures control despite the snappy nature of a lightweight .38, and the anodized aluminum finish resists corrosion while keeping weight down.

This is a revolver engineered for the left-handed shooter who understands that a gun is only useful if it handles naturally in your hand. No reaching across the frame, no fumbling the cylinder release, no operating a gun designed for someone else's dominant hand. The Southpaw lets you draw, operate, and shoot the way your body is built to shoot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this revolver truly left-handed, or just ambidextrous?

This is a fully left-handed design. The Southpaw is complete reverse-engineered so the cylinder release and opening mechanism are on the right side of the frame — natural for a left-handed shooter. This is not an ambidextrous compromise; it's built specifically for lefty operation.

Can I shoot .38 Special +P ammunition in the Southpaw?

Yes. The Undercover Lite Southpaw is rated for both standard .38 Special and +P loadings, giving you flexibility in ammunition selection.

What weight is this revolver for carry?

At 12 ounces, the aluminum-frame Undercover Lite Southpaw is exceptionally light for daily carry, truck storage, or backup duty. The lightweight construction makes it ideal for extended carry without fatigue.

What's the barrel length and is this suitable for concealed carry?

The two-inch barrel keeps the overall profile compact and concealable while still delivering useful .38 Special velocity. Combined with the 12-ounce weight, it's well-suited to inside-the-waistband or pocket carry applications.
