Charter Arms Undercover Small .38 Special Revolver - Stainless Steel (Model 73824)
Charter Arms
The Colt Cobra Small .38 Special Revolver is a modern take on an iconic concealed carry classic. This brushed stainless steel revolver brings Colt back to the double-action revolver market with a compact 2.1-inch barrel and 6-round capacity built for everyday carry and personal protection. Whether you're a new shooter looking for a reliable first handgun or a seasoned professional seeking a proven backup piece, the Cobra delivers the dependability Colt revolvers have been known for since the brand's legendary revolver era.
The small frame design keeps the Cobra lightweight and easy to conceal, while the 7.25-inch overall length won't print in an inside-the-waistband holster. That compact footprint doesn't compromise shootability: the Hogue Overmolded rubber grip is positioned rearward to help manage recoil impulse, and the revolver is rated for .38 Special +P ammunition, giving you flexibility in ammo selection for varying threat scenarios. The brass bead front sight and frame trench rear sight setup is straightforward and reliable—no batteries, no moving parts to break.
Built on the LL2 Linear Leaf Mainspring Design, the Cobra offers smooth, manageable trigger action inherent to quality double-action revolvers. It's simple to operate, easy to maintain, and proven in the hands of civilians and professionals alike. If you want a small-frame .38 that honors revolver tradition while meeting modern concealed carry needs, the Cobra is worth your consideration.
