The Charter Arms Off Duty Coyote is a compact .380 ACP revolver purpose-built for everyday concealed carry. At just 13 ounces with a 2-inch ported barrel, this five-shot wheelgun prioritizes lightweight handling and minimal recoil—ideal for shooters who want reliable personal defense without the bulk. The combination of anodized aluminum frame and stainless steel components keeps weight down while the ported barrel helps manage recoil impulse, making it approachable for new and experienced shooters alike.
Built on Charter Arms' proven revolver platform, the Off Duty Coyote uses moon clips for secure .380 ACP ammunition retention, and ships with two clips in the box. The concealed hammer design eliminates snag points during a defensive draw, while the finger-grooved rubber grip provides positive control despite the gun's diminutive footprint. LitePipe sights cut through low light—a practical feature when self-defense situations don't announce themselves on a sunny range.
This is a gun that works within real-world carry constraints. At 6.25 inches long and 4.25 inches tall, it fits inside-the-waistband or pocket carry without printing, and the lightweight frame makes all-day carry fatigue-free. The matte stainless finish resists corrosion during regular carry and occasional cleaning. If you're shopping for a deep-concealment backup gun, off-duty carry piece, or first defensive revolver that won't demand a lot from your grip strength or training budget, the Coyote deserves a close look.

| Capacity | 5 rounds |
| Barrel Length | 2 inches, ported |
| Frame Material | Anodized aluminum |
| Cylinder/Barrel Material | Stainless steel |
| Finish | Matte stainless (cylinder/barrel), clear anodized (frame) |
| Grip | Black finger-grooved rubber, small/compact |
| Hammer | Concealed |
| Sights | LitePipe |
| Weight | 13 ounces |
| Overall Length | 6.25 inches |

The Coyote fires .380 ACP ammunition and uses moon clips for secure cylinder loading. Moon clips are metal rings that hold .380 ACP rounds (a rimless cartridge) in proper cylinder position. The gun ships with two clips, giving you quick reloading options. .380 ACP is a widely available, historically proven defensive round with manageable recoil in a gun this light.
Yes. At 13 ounces and measuring 6.25 inches long, it's among the smallest and lightest .380 revolvers available—specifically engineered for deep concealment inside-the-waistband, pocket, or ankle carry. The matte stainless finish handles the corrosion and wear of daily carry, and the lightweight design means no fatigue from belt carry all day.
The 2-inch ported barrel vents gases upward during firing to counteract muzzle rise and reduce felt recoil. In a lightweight gun chambered in .380 ACP, this helps keep recoil gentle and recovery fast—especially useful for shooters managing their grip strength or those building confidence with a new firearm.
The Off Duty Coyote comes with two moon clips. You'll need to source a holster and carry setup separately based on your preferred carry method.
