These flew off the shelves, and I kick myself for not buying one. Why are there none of these for sale anywhere? Did Charter discontinue them?
 
This one is one of the few on my list for this year. I am waiting for a few things, one of those is to hear that the sight issue is resolved.
 
It's going to be interesting in this day & age of fantastic-plastic, new&improved calibers, rushes to add rails and doo-dads to handguns.... to watch C.A.'s reaction to the crowd roaring for more serious .32s in one of the older revolver designs currently in continuous production.

Good for Charter Arms!

its too bad that they've let this one fall by the wayside...… seven rounds of .32 H&R magnum in a light weight medium sized revolver sounds very nice.

I have an Undercoverette that has a sight issue too. It shoots about 2-3 inches low at 30 ft depending in ammo. I’ve been thinking of taking a file to it.
 
I’ve mentioned on other threads that I milled the top rib on my CA professional because it hit about 7 to 8 inches low at 5 yards and even lower further back. Sent it back to CA with only minimal change. Great customer service but had to fix it myself.
 
Yeah, they did fly off the shelves. Then folks found out how poorly the sights were regulated and complained for pages. I would've too. Count yourself lucky...you avoided a turkey.

They'll be back when CA figures it out. Be patient.

I don't think they'll figure it out. they made a 6 shot .327 magnum and let that one fall off. they made an 8 shot pathfinder but let that one fall off too.

The fix is easy... Adjustable sights.
Adjustable... machining/filing.... aim elsewhere....

If all other things are *good*, sight regulation has NEVER been a make-break for me. But then too, I can only barely tolerate screw-adjustable sights on pistols other than target pistols.

Pick a load, find out where it lands, point accordingly.

with a handgun that might be kind of tough if your sight picture must be held over the head of your human silhouette target at 25 yards in order to hit the chest area.
 
Wasn't someone advocating for pelvic shots being more effective in a defensive situation? Well there you go. Point of aim center mass, point of impact pelvis.

Had no idea they were so terribly off.

That's awful.

I honestly have no idea where it was and now that I just looked for it I can't find a thing. As I recall it said six shot though.

Nick Ecker, President of Charter Arms, just posted that they are making an 8 shot Pathfinder again.
 
I would like an aluminum frame Undercoverette in black. Or the Off Duty model in 32 H&R. Either would be 4 oz lighter than my stainless Undercoverette.

In all the years I've had guns with adjustable sights, not one of them has ever shifted zero or the sights been damaged. It's silly to change the fundamentals of how you aim and shoot just because you want to avoid adjustable sights.

Silly to read my post as interpreting it to imply sights are shifting too.

I just see no need in general to have screw adjustable sights on pistols outside of maybe serious hunting or target types. At least for me, I have very little problem remembering whether I do or do not need to apply some Kentucky-windage or Chicago-elevation to a known gun.

Silly for me, is having a bunch of snaggy, spring and screw dependent nonsense on a gun just to be fiddling back and forth with if the mission of the gun and the parameters of its use do not support it.

They certainly have their place but in my opinion are way over applied to handguns rather than a drifted rear and a variable front post.
